Hey #ACSFall2023 -- come stop by our very own Wei-Tse's poster presentations, tonight at Sci-Mix and tomorrow at the COMP session!
Currently at #ACSFall2023 and will be presenting a poster on 1️⃣ Recently published alchemical metadynamics 2️⃣ Ensemble of expanded ensembles (preprint submitted yesterday!) Catch me tonight at Sci-Mix or tomorrow at COMP poster session if you’re interested! 🧵#compchem

We had a good time at trivia last night! We may not have placed 1st, but we definitely had the best team name: "mpirun gmx trivia"

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

#ACSFall2022 folks - stop by tonight from 7-9 PM (CDT) in hall F2 to see our very own Anika Friedman show her poster uncovering mechanisms of allosteric inhibition of PTB1B! So much exciting science!
Interested in #metadynamics and free energy calculations with MD? Stop by @WeiTseHsu talk at ACS on Thursday at 9 to see his exciting work!
Free energy estimates shouldn’t depend on which metastable state the simulation starts off, but estimates by expanded ensembles seeded by States A/B below can be 20 std away due to insufficient configurational sampling. Consider coming to my ACS talk to see how we solved this!🧵

Good luck to @thelennyfobe today at ACS -- if you're at the conference, stop by and listen to his fascinating work on foldamers!
If you're at ACS today, consider checking out my talk I'm giving at 5:00 pm today! I'll be sharing our recent work on modeling foldamers using CG models. I'll be in room S401d as part of the afternoon molecular mechanics sessions.

Check out the awesome work happening in the @openforcefield Initiative! The Shirts group is one of the main academic sites for this collaborative force field development effort.
If you were also excited for the 5th #OpenFF workshop, but missed it, watch the video on YouTube: youtu.be/Jw1iVjHkRPM and get slides on Zenodo: zenodo.org/record/6774452. If you weren't, you should still watch the keynote -- it is impossible not to get excited! #compchem
