Hi #Chemsky, hi #compchem
Time for an re-introduction. I am Janine. I work on materials informatics topics @bamresearch.bsky.social and @uni-jena.de . I mostly work from Berlin.
We (my awesome research group and I) try to connect quantum-chemical bonding descriptors with materials properties.

I wonder if I should post more routinely that we do have monthly video meetings for anyone in the @fhi-aims.bsky.social community.
The next one is tomorrow, Nov 12, 8:30 am EST. Time and coordinates are routinely posted in the Slack workspace.

Just got the notification: 50 Years of the "Horses".
It's probably one of my favorite music albums ever. Released only 14 years before I was born.

I have a friend. When I speak with her, my spoken English gets a lot better. It's so interesting.
But it doesn't stick. 😅

Today, I found myself in a discussion with some participants who believed that all theoretical predictions were nonsense as they have not all be replicated in the lab.
Okay.

So much software reuse is untracked as people cite the software in the SI or because there are upper limits to citations.
