After a great time of one year, one week, and one day, I'm leaving #ibm research and it's great campus for new opportunities. Thanks to my the great colleagues and especially Teodoro Laino Federico Zipoli

Two post-doc positions for computational physicists/computer scientists available EPFL in Nicola Marzari's group. Positions are renewable yearly, now funded for 3 years. Work from PSI Paul Scherrer Institut may be possible. All the details here: nccr-marvel.ch/news/announcem… Pls RT.

"When a metric becomes a target, it seizes being a good metric". I think this also applies to the h-index used in science. It is time for new ideas, here is one: the first-author h-index: link.springer.com/article/10.100…, which should encourage publications with less authors. Thoughts?

Weil eine Regenbogenfahne am Balkon hängt, soll es erst wieder Geld für Miete und Essen geben, wenn die zwei Bewohner einer WG nachgewiesen haben, dass sie kein intimes Verhältnis haben. Hartz IV gehört sowas von auf den Müllhaufen der Geschichte. queer.de/detail.php?art…

Zelensky addressing the Russian people in Russian now: “Today I initiated a phone call with the president of the Russian Federation. The result was silence, though the silence should be in the Donbas. As a result I want to address all citizens of Russia…

Yesterday at zurich rathausplatz! There is so much solidarity with Ukraine 🇺🇦 in these tough times

Putin's war on Ukraine has entered its next phase, one of destruction and slaughter of civilians. It is also a part of Putin's World War, a war on the civilized world of international law, democracy, and any threat to his power, which he declared long ago. 1/13

A simultaneous 30°C anomaly in the Arctic and 40°C anomaly in the Antarctic, among the most terrifying events scientists have recorded, was a footnote in the bulletins. One celeb slapping another: headlines everywhere. This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a bant.

A fascinating article that shows the importance of open science, publishing source code whenever possible, and that we should not be afraid to question authority: physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.…

Today Erich Wimmer will present in the Mary Ann Mansigh conversation series. I am looking forward to this, join if you are interested about materials modeling for industry applications.

It has been close to three years since I joined IBM Research in Zurich. What a ride it has been! In this period, I focused on developing AI models for tasks related to chemical reactivity and creating the first cloud-based, AI-driven autonomous synthesis robot, RoboRXN. (1/5)

Nice work Boris Kozinsky Simon Batzner . Uncertainty is the next big thing, who needs an accurate model if you don't know when it goes bananas. Happy to see the plots of PPV and TPR, it's a nice way to show the degree of confidence in one figure.
