Applying for $40K of gift funds & we have to list outcomes. Examples of acceptable outcomes includes: "At least 40 citations for each publication (e.g., as measured by Google Scholar by end of the research project)" So I hope they enjoy my $40K, 10-year proposal.

Academic & natl lab researchers have no profit motive as part of their job, are leading experts in their fields, & compete fiercely to accumulate & publicly share new knowledge as fast as possible. And we train the workforce. Seems worthwhile.

The Open Molecules 2025 dataset is out! With >100M gold-standard ωB97M-V/def2-TZVPD calcs of biomolecules, electrolytes, metal complexes, and small molecules, OMol is by far the largest, most diverse, and highest quality molecular DFT dataset for training MLIPs ever made 1/N

Confession: I cringe when people include slides in their presentation prefaced with "I asked AI to visualize [xyz] and this is what it came up with". Unless there's some reason why it is interesting. No judgement. Just not for me.

In bioprocesses, not all sugars are created equal. Hosts preferentially consume glucose and that has CAPEX implications. If you can bump the glucose-to-xylose ratio up by 3.5X, your biomass feedstock's value can increase by >$77/ton. New Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) preprint: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

I am taking a red-eye after which I will go straight to do some public speaking at a rather large conference. AMA..specifically ask me wtf I was thinking.
