The biggest reason we don't actually have a "replication crisis" is that science is a process of advancing what's working, and not fixing what hasn't. Sometimes it's slow, and we backtrack a bit. But it's never stalled.

That said, the strain on scientific publishing is generating a lot of crap.

OpenAI just updated ChatGPT to be able to use RDKit, a cheminformatics Python package.

OpenAI's president says this makes ChatGPT "useful for scientific work across health, biology, and chemistry," but it is hilariously still not good at chemistry (🧵)

If anyone has any tips for fellowships or grants or giftfunds our group can apply for (in the US), please send our way.

So far, we've not had much luck in raising funds... 💰 In this relatively popular area, so I feel like I'm doing something wrong 😅

MD simulations of K+ ions permeation through the MthK potassium channel, done at +150 mV. We developed and applied optimized ion parameters within the Electronic Continuum Correction (ECC) framework. The simulated current quantitatively matches the experimental one.
