From our friends in the Theoretical Physics Department

Dear Reviewers: Don't reject because we made it look easy. Making it look easy is hard work. Don't reject because our solution is simple. Simple solutions often have the most impact. Don't reject because you can imagine additional experiments. There's a page limit.

This week's #PDB release includes 68 structures of #COVID19 protease, with various bound fragments identified using PanDDA analysis. Work by Martin Walsh OBE, Daren Fearon, @londonlab and more @diamondLightSou. Find all new #COVID19 structures at ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/entry/sea…

I just heard the sad news that my colleague Phil Anderson passed away this morning. A giant of 20th century #physics, he changed how we think about so many things. At 96, he was coming to work most days, and still inspiring us all.

Whenever I teach History of Math, I admit I am biased towards Western History, not because I am biased, but because I am more IGNORANT of Eastern History. I appreciate this great article by David Mumford. x.com/pickover/statu…

We have a Postdoc or a PhD position in mathematics for a collaboration project at the interface of probability theory and theoretical/computational physics. Deadline April 31st, see further information at www2.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/~valsson/membe…

Two computational postdoc postitions available in Prof. Jasmin Fisher’s lab UCL Cancer Institute! jobs.ac.uk/job/BZQ277/res…

Congratulations to Prof. Biman Bagchi (SSCU) on being elected as an International Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences! He has made key contributions in theoretical physical chemistry, esp. related to molecular relaxation in liquids bit.ly/2VMoZuL

If there is still any confusion about the importance of face masks, this graphic should help: Thanks for the tag @ElizabethNCCLPC!

The prologue of this book is amazing.

“Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better.” — Edsger W. Dijkstra

True for so many disciplines. It applies also to cumbersome use of language.

How does RNA sense Mg2+ ions? We show that metal ion coordinated water molecules play an important role. Preprint on Biorxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

You think you have to be a US citizen/green-card holder to secure a PhD fellowship in the US? Think again. We have found 167 PhD fellowships for both international students and US citizen/green-card holders, listed here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-op… List updated monthly.

Turns out everything is a matrix multiplication from computer graphics to training neural networks :) Our latest front cover nature paper on #AlphaTensor here: dpmd.ai/nature-alpha-t…
