Today, we officially say adeus and boa sorte to @mdpoleto, who was an outstanding postdoc in our group for ~4 years. Thank you for all your contributions and best wishes as you start your independent career at the University of São Paolo!

New ChemRxiv preprint up from @mdpoleto on the parametrization of a polarizable model for PET polymer. Really interesting induced polarization effects in this material and potential interactions with proteins! #compchem dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemr…
