Adaptive hybrid density functionals cure the spin gap problem in DFT! Optimal HF exchange admixture ratios for specific molecules of arbitrary size and composition, obtained on the fly from amon based #QML models trained across #chemicalspace, result in much improved hybrid DFT predictions: Introducing the revised revQM9 data set!

Well that’s official I have zero confidence in the NSERC system. I have 8 papers over 100 citations, a post doc lined up at Cambridge and make the short list for a jr research fellowship, but I can’t get a PGS-D. Something is totally wrong with the system we have in Canada.

The FHI-aims Developers' and Users' Meeting 2023 will take place Aug 2 - 4, 2023, in Hamburg. The meeting brings together key players from the FHI-aims code and outlines its current developments. Registration is now open! fhi-aims.org/fhi-aims-du-20… Please spread the word and RT!

I am participating in 2023 Sporting Life 10K on May 14, 2023 at 7:30 A.M. EDT. Help me raise money by sponsoring me! raceroster.com/events/2023/62…

Meet @DalhousieChem PhD student Alastair Price (@Albd90), one of the new members of @DalOpenThink's 2023 cohort. Read his articles throughout the year at blogs.dal.ca/openthink/auth…

Our OpenThink initiative officially returns for its fourth year, with 13 ambitious PhD students from across Dal. Throughout the year, OpenThinkers will share their expertise through monthly articles on the OpenThink blog: bit.ly/3JhoCzU

Come see our very own Sara Evans and Anu Adamson participate in the 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) competition!

Chemistry PhD student, Alastair Price is one of the thirteen PhD students selected to be part of the 2023 cohort of the OpenThink initiative. Congratulations to Alastair and all the other members of the 2023 cohort!

Our own Alastair Price will be one of two speakers for next week's PTC Virtual Seminar on Feb 7. See here for information on how to join: cheminst.ca/cic-virtual/se… cc: @CIC_PTCDivision #CICVirtual

Meet Prof. Ryan MacDonell (@ryjmac), the newest addition to our department who started in January of this year. He did his BSc at Carleton University (@CarletonScience), and his PhD at uOttawa/NRC (@uOttawaCHM) with Dr. Michael Schuurman. 1/4

We welcome Prof. Theresa Head-Gordon as our visiting seminar speaker this week:

Our preprint (@andrew_tarzia @JelfsChem) on how disorder affects the porosity of 2D COFs is out now! If you're interested in multi-component COFs and tuneable properties give it a read researchsquare.com/article/rs-236…

@AimsDuke No problem! Appreciate the help you gave us on this!

@AimsDuke Thank you Volker!
