Our team is looking for a visual journalist to report, design and code stories with us. You'll be able to learn from our skilled colleagues. I joined this team in 2021 and have continued to learn ever since. It's definitely a great work environment. Learn more about it or apply here: bit.ly/4kG33L6
Made it to @intconfchemstr.social.edu.nl.ap.brid.gy just in time for the Mike Lynch Award (after about 6 hours of public transport).
Academic freedom in the United States has found itself periodically under siege, but the current attacks from the federal government raise a new level of alarm. nyer.cm/u405qvQ

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Søren Hauberg (DTU) and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: (1/6)
NeurIPS participation in Europe
We seek to understand if there is interest in being able to attend NeurIPS in Europe, i.e. without travelling to San Diego, US. In the following, assume that it is possible to present accepted papers ...

Active-learning ML approach for catalytic free-energy calculations by Liu et al.: An MLP “committee” and constrained MD refine data, capturing reaction pathways 10^6× faster than ab initio. Their scheme ensures robust coverage of transitions and near-DFT precision. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
CatFlow: An Automated Workflow for Training Machine Learning Potentials to Compute Free Energies in Dynamic Catalysis
Dynamic effects of catalysts play a crucial role in catalytic reactions, necessitating the incorporation of statistical sampling and understanding of the impact of dynamic structures in free energy calculations. However, the complexity of catalytic systems poses challenges in effectively exploring the vast configurational space effectively. In this work, we propose CatFlow, an automated workflow for training machine learning potentials (MLPs) to compute free energies of catalytic reactions. CatFlow combines constrained molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with concurrent training of MLPs and sequential calculation of free energies with well trained MLPs. By rapidly generating reliable MLPs, CatFlow facilitates rigorous free energy calculations, enabling the determination of the reaction profiles in an end-to-end manner. We showcased the capabilities of CatFlow by investigating the activation of O2 catalyzed by Pt clusters and demonstrated the effects of phase transition on the activities of the catalytic reaction. CatFlow offers an efficient and automated solution for studying the catalytic elementary reaction processes. It reduces the need for human intervention and provides researchers with a powerful tool to investigate free energies of dynamic catalysis.

🔬 More #SciComm! 🔬 This week’s figure shows how severe mental disorders affect the entire body. 🧠 While these disorders are known for their impact on brain functioning (blue), patients are also disproportionately affected by physical diseases (red). Details 👇!
🔬 Hello, BlueSky! Time for some more #SciComm! 🔬 Last week’s (procrastination 🙈) figure illustrates the frequency spectrum of genetic risk factors for Schizophrenia: common variants (blue), protein truncating variants (red), and copy number variations (green). More 👇!
🔬 Hello, BlueSky! Time for some #SciComm! 🔬 This week’s figure illustrates the onset and progression of schizophrenia, integrating symptom intensity (blue line), environmental and genetic risk factors (red boxes), and key disease milestones (white boxes) as they unfold across age.
Still believe that at the core of every exceptional research group are researchers who are both bright and kind and who value teamwork. #chemsky
Cannot overstate how stellar of a job @amelierocks.bsky.social did the past three days! An absolute masterclass. Calm, composed, always human. 💯👏
European RosettaCon has been phenomenal! Congratulations to the poster ptesentation winners and thanks @amelierocks.bsky.social for organizing!
🚀 Excited to announce that "Bayesian Illumination: Inference and Quality-Diversity Accelerate Generative Molecular Models" is now available! Key takeaway: Bayesian Illumination is 100x more effective than either genetic algorithms or deep generative models. 📊
