Vibes mostly

1. The people matter The most important thing during your PhD is not the available funding, resources, or projects you work on. Its the people. Your supervisors, colleagues, and friends. People first; everything else is secondary.

How I feel making figures

"If we really want the best talent in science, then let’s foster environments across the scientific enterprise that invite neurodiversity and recognize the strengths of neurological differences," writes H. Holden Thorp in this week's #ScienceEditorial. scim.ag/6JD

My first ever publication is my NatRevMaterials piece about the #DisabledInSTEM Mentorship Program nature.com/articles/s4157… and it truly feels like a huge accomplishment to be recognized for all of my work towards inclusion in STEM!

The best days start with “Notice of Award” - grateful to NIH @NIGMS for funding my MIRA renewal and for supporting cool simulation work. Onward to new and exciting things!

Congratulations, Haley Michel, on your publication! 🥳😎 …d-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.ezproxy.lib.vt.edu/38576161/ "In this paper, we used molecular dynamics simulations to study a G-quadruplex known to downregulate HIV-1 gene expression. Our findings showed that the G-quadruplex can adopt distinct base-pairing

A thread on why research skills gained at university level can be life-saving: 18 years ago my mum told me she’d seen a tick on her arm. I was studying for my PhD in York while she was five hours south of me. A week later she said a bulls-eye rash had emerged around the bite.

Everyone should have a cause

In episode 11 of Phase Space Invaders 🎙️, I'm talking to Justin Lemkul! Listen to our conversation on Spotify or find us on all podcast platforms: open.spotify.com/episode/2ka0eq… We obviously discuss the questions of providing technical help online, and how far tutorials and manuals

Congratulations to Dr. @jmaemontgomery! A successful defense and PhD #3 from the #LemkulLab. Julia did a great job with challenging membrane systems and shared her intriguing results using the #Drude FF. #compchem

I’m begging for some answer. I opened a ticket last week and I did not receive any reply. username: pablo-arantes GitHub

Hey GitHub PLEASE sort this out. The work Pablo and his team was doing was essential for increasing accessibility of molecular simulation. The repositories need to be restored ASAP. I will personally vouch that it’s not spam!

Didn’t realize I opened this app to cry today😭 Very excited for your new adventure @mdpoleto, also very sad you’re leaving us all behind. Thank you for your mentorship and friendship and I’m looking forward to hearing about all your great accomplishments! Até mais 🥲

A prospective PhD student should look for a kind and understanding mentor, not necessarily the most brilliant one or someone working at a prestigious institution. A kind mentor will focus on your progress and work to uplift you.

New ChemRxiv preprint up from @mdpoleto on the parametrization of a polarizable model for PET polymer. Really interesting induced polarization effects in this material and potential interactions with proteins! #compchem dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

👏😎Biochemistry hosted an in-person 2024 Department Retreat for faculty, staff, and graduate students. Dean Alan Grant opened the retreat, followed by motivating words from Dr. Stefan Roberts, Biochemistry Department Head. Dennis Dean, University Distinguished Professor

New articles out this week in The Journal of Physical Chemistry! This article becomes is the new citation for the current versions of the CHARMM program. What an incredible team of developers to be a part of. #compchem #OA pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
