Computational biochemist. Postdoc @ UCSF in the Grabe lab. @MDAnalysis core developer. Believes everything can be explained using cats.







1. Like a cat, good code needs continual care: food (maintenance), checkups (tests), guide for interaction (docs), etc. However, scientists often lack time/expertise for this. Code is abandoned+stops working, or is difficult to find, leading to effort duplication.





Last year, @MDAnlaysis released a whitepaper outlining our proposed "MDAKits" -> github.com/MDAnalysis/MDA… For those at #bps2023, hear more at @HighSpeedMode's poster(B446) on MDA today But first, let's take a quick walk through MDAKits+the idea behind them- with some cute cats!








For those at #ACSFall2022, @lilyminium will be presenting on this later today #PHYS, room S404a @4.15. Hope to see people there!
