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

Kick off of the National Academy of Engineering meeting UC Berkeley ‘Do great things and do good things’

Arc is hiring a Chief Scientific Officer! Come work with at what I think is the most dynamic and ambitious biology research organization in the world, partnering with Patrick Hsu, Silvana Konermann, Dave Burke, Arc's extraordinary faculty, and many more. We want to build the world's

A recent MRI scan showed, in the left side of my brain, further progress of my glioblastoma (IDH wild-type, etc.) and related adjacent reactive changes. Here is a couple of pictures. Whilst this may not be the best direction to be heading with my changes, amazingly (to me) I

An Earthquake just struck the Bay Area Did you feel it?

The Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Central Israel, suffered a direct impact from an Iranian ballistic missile earlier tonight, starting a fire in one of the laboratories and causing extensive damage to a section of the campus.

This is good.

I'd like to talk to curators, archaeologists, or anyone with experience handling ancient artifacts. I'm making tablets to preserve text for thousands of years, and I want to better understand how durable they need to be in practice. Introductions and RTs very much appreciated.

Very happy to see this out in Acta Cryst A after an extremely thorough peer review! Kudos to Bernard for the amazing work which was initiated when I told him to ‘just look up the symmetries in the tables’ (friends, those tables didn’t exist til now ;) )

One thing I’ve learned managing scientists is that any complex chain of reasoning is almost always wrong unless there is a simple way to check the solution or to see it is correct. It’s why I don’t believe many prognostications from smart people (e.g. on consequences of AI/AGI).

From 1 July, researchers funded by the NIH will be required to make their scientific papers available to read for free as soon as they are published in a peer-reviewed journal. Here’s Nature’s guide on what researchers need to know. go.nature.com/4lx3OGl

Dark matter

In 2014, I read a political science paper that nearly convinced me to quit my lifelong career as an activist: "Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens," published in *Perspectives on Politics*: cambridge.org/core/journals/… 1/
