Congratulations to 5th year Chemistry PhD candidate Dean Afsar of the @CalvoLab_KSU for being selected to receive sponsorship from the @KSUGradSchool to represent K-State at the AAAS Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering (CASE) Workshop in Washington D.C.

This week we are have a speaker from that other Kansas school 🤭 We are happy to host Professor Ward Thompson from @KUChemistry this Thursday at 1:05 pm. Bio: chem.ku.edu/people/ward-h-…

It’s a happy-sad moment as we say farewell to our super-postdoc Saswata (@quantum_winger), who's beginning his independent career as an Assistant Professor at @KStateChemistry! 🙌 As an Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI-in-Science Fellow (@SchmidtFutures), Saswata pushed our #datadriven #manybody potentials into new territory, combining them with density-corrected #DFT ⚛️ to develop the first #water model that accurately predicts Kw. 💧 Look at the mug 😉 to check out some of Saswata's papers: 👉 nature.com/articles/s4146… 👉 doi.org/10.1021/acs.jc… 👉 doi.org/10.1021/acs.jc… 👉 doi.org/10.1021/acs.jp… 👉 doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5… Good luck on this exciting new journey, @quantum_winger! 🚀 #OnceAPirateAlwaysAPirate 🏴‍☠️ @UCSanDiego @UCSDPhySci @UCSDChemBiochem @HDSIUCSD @SDSC_UCSD

Nice work Dr. Rafferty and Dr. Patel from @KStateChemistry 👏
