Finnish-US study reveals size & temperature effect on small water clusters energy. Relative to macroscopic model, the data & quantum mechanics suggests a behavior change based on temperature in cluster energy vs. size @AfzalifarAli @ProfShields @robin_ras

Our paper (@ProfShields Vance Fowler @robin_ras ) on size and temperature effects on water clusters energy. Relative to macroscopic model, data from experiment and quantum mechanics shows a behavior change based on temperature in cluster energy vs. size. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Our students are awesome! Chemistry majors have received national awards from the ACS, Goldwater Scholarships, Beckman Scholar Awards, and NSF GRFP fellowships. We are #3 nationally among PUIs for most graduates who complete a PhD.

Our students don't study or conduct research in a vacuum. The new episode from the Chem4REAL podcasts explores that impacts of the death George Floyd on college students in Minnesota. curchem.wordpress.com/2022/0…

Looking at all the docking preprints coming out now, I have a dare: Pick a ligand database, pick a target, and show me that you CANNOT find a computational binder. If you always find one, then publishing a paper saying only “we found a molecule that binds” is meaningless.

Check out this perspective article from three of our MERCURY investigators (@kaureliaball, Heidi Hendrickson, and @HeKedan) about starting a #CompChem undergraduate research group. This is another great article from the MERCURY special issue of IJQC.
Passion for #compchem bengins during early academic life but involve students in research can be tricky. If you are a young PI looking to grow your research group, Ball, He, and Hendrickson have some tips for you.@WileyCTChem doi.org/10.1002/qua.26341

#TDIH 1854 Harriet Tubman stole away her three brothers from slavery in Maryland. Christmas Day was a strategic time for fugitivity. The merrymaking of slave owners made it an opportune time to slip away. Creative escape. #MerryChristmas 🎄. #CiteBlackWomen 👏🏾📚✍🏾👏🏾

For over 200 yrs slave ship travelled nonstop across the Atlantic to the America w stolen humans frm African. Think abt it. Each ship had 250-600 enslaved ppl. If you peg it in the middle, averaging at 400, that is 31,250 voyages. That’s more than 150 a yr. One every other day!

Beyond excited to learn from a social media pro! @bechter of @scifri teaches us how to communicate science via Twitter. Key advice: Be authentic. Be vulnerable. Have fun. Most of all, be a human being!
