I am very much looking forward to being part of this materials modeling school in Trieste this June. Applications are still open!
If you want to learn about materials modeling, from DFT to MD, well marinated in a spicy ML sauce, don't miss out the @ictp.bsky.social / @nccr-marvel.bsky.social college. Details and application instructions here indico.ictp.it/event/11146/. See you in Miramare!

IMHO ist es ein bissel komplexer. Latein an sich ist nicht auf jeden Fall überflüssig. Es sollte durchaus Leute geben, die da Kompetenz haben. Wir auch in Chinesisch, Japanisch ... usw. Mehr als diskutabel ist aber die Unterstellung, Bildung sei ohne Kenntnis des Lateinischen rudimentär.

Es wäre vielleicht angemessen, eine gemeinsame Grundbildung für alle bis 15 zu haben, um dann klassische, naturwissenschaftliche, kaufmännische Gymnasien und Weiterbildende Schulen zu schaffen. Dieser elitäre Habitus ist geradezu abstoßend.

On this day 100 years ago, January 27, 1926, Erwin Schrödinger published the first of a series of seminal papers introducing the Schrödinger equation, the cornerstone of #quantum mechanics. ⚛️
How did a single equation reshape our understanding of nature, driving innovation a century later? ⤵️

Wow, eine tolle Nachricht: Wissenschaftsministerin @eviholz.bsky.social kündigt Budgeterhöhung für die österreichische Grundlagenforschung an - oberhalb der Inflationsrate. Das ist nicht selbstverständlich in diesen Zeiten. Starkes Signal!

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Lots of interest tonight for the panel discussion "Physicist at the Forefront of the AI Revolution" at @esivienna.bsky.social.
We have a great panel of alumni of @univie-physik.bsky.social, who came back to discuss with current students about the opportunities (and perhaps dangers) of AI.
