The recordings for the second lecture of MIT 20.S947: 3D Scientific Rendering have been uploaded! We cover topics related to realism, such as HDRIs, PBR and procedural materials, and compositor effects. #SciArt #blender youtube.com/playlist?list=…

These lectures by David W. Kastner are everything I wanted to have but didn’t when I first started Blender for scientific illustrations. Strongly recommended for anyone who is interested - its a fantastic series!

If you ever wanted to make mesmerizing structural biology eye-candy but didn't know exactly where to start, may I suggest you budget an hour for this easy-to-follow tutorial using Blender.

Hydroxylate, halogenate—what's your angle? In ACS Catalysis, David W. Kastner's first group paper uses experimentally restrained #compchem to explain how two classes of non-heme iron enzymes position their substrates to establish reaction selectivity! doi.org/10.1021/acscat…

As part of a new collaboration with Jing-Ke Wang’s lab, David W. Kastner helped Colin Y. Kim explore the mechanism of coumarin synthase, an enzyme with a fascinating story. Check out Colin’s thread on the paper here!

Using generative AI, members of the the Kulik Group have created a model that can predict the structures formed when a chemical reaction reaches its point of no return. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

Excited to get highlights from Nature Computational Science as the Cover of the last issue in 2023. Thanks David W. Kastner for the beautiful artwork! Want to learn more about the actual work? A long 🧵 explaining it (x.com/chenru_duan/st…) for a holiday read📗 #compchem #MachineLearning
