Baltimore's drop in homicides - 23% since last year and a staggering 40% from two years ago - should be a national story. Mayor Scott's Group Violence Reduction Strategy, which prioritizes resources to those most at risk and community engagement, should be studied and replicated.

It is very sad to learn that Martin Karplus passed away on Dec 28 at age 94. He was a scholar and pioneering chemical physicist with great contributions in many areas including molecular dynamics. We interacted many times starting from my graduate time at Harvard. His legacy is reinforced by the large number of coworkers who have also done much to advance computational science.
