New preprint online today - spearheaded by my very talented postdoc, Jonas - on a new reusable, open-source software implementation of the second-order trust region algorithm:

arxiv.org/abs/2509.13931

Here are some of the reasons why this library may be useful for a great many in our community. 👇
A Reusable Library for Second-Order Orbital Optimization Using the Trust Region Method
We present a reusable, open-source software implementation of the second-order trust region algorithm in the new OpenTrustRegion library. We apply the implementation to the general-purpose optimizatio...

“Don’t homeopathically kill someone” 😂 Priceless!
It's Thursday and we need some levity around here. So, I bring you one of my favorite movies, PRACTICAL MAGIC. Not because of my decades-long crush on Sandra Bullock, but because it was the inspiration for a murder gone wrong and "Justin's Three Rules of Murder." This may be long, so grab some tea.

When you go to the hospital on January 1st because you got hurt at 3am, people expect a good story…😬 However, I was just the idiot who ran down the stairs without glasses to make sure the crying toddler didn’t wake up the entire family💁🏼‍♀️

Anyone up for some #ToxTuesday?
A lot of us love spicy foods, and the capsaicin in chili peppers that gives us that heat can be addictive. But is there anything hotter? I'm glad you asked. Yes, yes there is. And it's called RESINIFERATOXIN

Very happy to have this one in the open

We found that mutual information measures are useful to identify spatial correlations in peptide systems, even at the Hartree-Fock or KS-DFT Slater Determinant level. Locality is a thing, as is chemical bonding. (1/2)
Correlation in Dipeptide Systems form Quantum Information Theory Perspectives
Understanding the electronic structure of amino acids is crucial for understanding protein structure and function. We interfaced quantum information indices and ab initio quantum chemistry methods to ...

So grateful to the ACS for having childcare at national meetings, so my daughter can come with. It makes a huge difference, especially when both parents are academics in overlapping fields (=go to same conferences).

Another old #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky 1 pg summary. It continues last week's non-covalent interactions & looks at boiling points & solubility/miscibility. It was aimed at 1st year non-chemists (most of my old students). But it reminds them that these properties are on a scale. Enjoy.

I love reading «old» books!🌟 I found the best description of the laws of thermodynamics, written by Willis Lamb in 1973. They are as follows:
“1) You can’t win.
2) You can only break even at a temperatur of absolute zero.
3) Bets at absolute zero are not permitted”
