With RAM prices like this, I doubt universities will build new clusters :-S

These get more and more ridiculous.

one of my students submitted exactly 1337 jobs on the 19th. Neat.

The amount of em-dashes in the review of my grant proposal ist suspiciously high.

also some of the dumbest statements I've ever read: "This grant must have been written by a young scientist:". Yes ... it's a grant for early career scientists.

Soon soaring through the sky on this beauty 🛫
Heading from the Physical Organic GRC to the Houk Research Conference. Exciting science!. #GRC #chemsky #conferenceseason

We launched the ChemView beta, a web-based output file viewer, focused on ORCA 6.

US folks:
If you have PhD students interested in 3+ months of compchem research in Austria, I can host them under the Marshall Plan Foundation’s competitive anniversary call.
Rolling selection - early contact helps. Just reach out to me.

We now have a web-based geometry optimizer – fully client-side, no server needed! Uses semiempirical methods and works well for medium sized molecules. Supports frozen bonds, runs right in your browser. Great for pre-opt!

Just one part of a much bigger project 😉

Nice to see that our paper on substituent effects in tetrazine cycloadditions made it into the top 10% viewed papers in Chemistry - A European Journal! You can read it open access here: chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @chemistryeurope.bsky.social @chemistry-tuw.bsky.social

Can you guess when we realized that one of our software licences runs out next month? #compchem

PhD student is working on a fun side project. Element color picker for your 3D models. :-)

New challenge in our group: getting SCFs to converge for non-Aufbau systems.

Excited to be recruiting a PhD student at Durham! 🎉  Fully-funded position in digital supramolecular chemistry, combining machine learning and lab automation. Think robot chemists! 🤖🧪

So....I ran a Diels-Alder transition state search (HF-3c) including frequency analysis on a refurbed 13€ dual-core computer (excluding SSD cost) in 10 minutes. 13€! This is crazy. #compchem
