I've spent a big fraction of my week reviewing proposals, and it makes me so optimistic. Such great ideas from so many clever people. #TeamScience

Spent the day learning @MLflow. Feels like how I usually to track experiments, but much easier and with an actual UI.

My neighbor gifted me a bag of hot, boiled peanuts after I helped remove a tree branch that fell on our yards. I ♥️ #Georgia

Found a bird (Golden-crowned Sparrow) that I hadn't seen before in a backlog of photos from last year. Marking it down in my spotting guided reminded me that I've been #birding for a decade!

@Andrew_S_Rosen Thanks, @Andrew_S_Rosen ! Glad you find it useful. I'm hoping to post a few more now that DOE proposal season is done

Just stumbled upon @WardLT2's YouTube account today. Lots of great computational materials science content, especially related to HPC workflows! Thank you for this community service! 🙏 @wardlt" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@wardlt

One of the three Barred Owls hanging out in my backyard this evening

Sitting on an internal review for a proposal, and got a great bit of wisdom from a reviewer: "Proposals are meant to be scored, not read."

If you're either not both a computing person and Floridian

Fun jargon crossover today: Ate a Pub Sub while at a distributed computing conference in Florida

@BenBlaiszik @jacob_rintamaki @A_Aspuru_Guzik That's about right! Plus many papers during my postdoc

@jacob_rintamaki @A_Aspuru_Guzik @WardLT2 is the resident Chicago mass transit expert. Rumor has it that he finished about half of his dissertation and data extraction on the train.

The locals complain a lot. I love the TTC. They should see the Boston one (which is ancient) or the Mexico City one (which has had fatal accidents due to failing infrastructure) or the BART system in the Bay Area which has very little connectivity.

Finished building and planting our first raised bed garden! Looking forward to all kinds of veggies 🌱🍅

Hit 550 mi on my running shoes!

A team I'm on at @LabsGlobus , led by @z_H0NG, is excited to introduce ScholarBERT, an #LLM for science trained on 85M English language research articles! We're using it to discover molecules for safely transporting #GreenHydrogen. #LLMHackathon

Started with a small lobe to figure out if I wanted to prep it another way.

Went out on my first mushroom forage with the wonderful people of @gamushroomclub this weekend! My contribution to the collection table was some oyster mushrooms, and I just enjoyed part of my share today 😋🍄

@IPDPS The code to try this application out yourself is on GitHub paperswithcode.com/paper/cloud-se… and all my results are on @DataFacility acdc.alcf.anl.gov/mdf/detail/mul…

My team's second paper on Colmena, a main focus of my work, is now accepted at an @IPDPS workshop and on ArXiv - arxiv.org/abs/2303.08803 We show you can span AI workflows across multiple computing sites without networking hassles _and_ without giving up performance

It's today! Join us for Session 4: The Future of Access to Materials Data @ the MaRDA Annual Meeting! #data #datascience #openscience #opendata #machinelearning #artificialintelligence

Met one of our neighborhood possums at the end of a walk with Dolly. I was glad she was disinterested or failed to notice him 😬

Took a break from deadline madness to make risotto. Hope my fellow busy scientists are also taking time to relax #AcademicChatter
