Meet Our Pioneers 👋 Geoffrey Hutchison
@ghutchis is a chemistry professor and developer.
He created @AvogadroChem, an app that helps teach practical chemistry.
He is also the founder of @OpenBabel_org, the open-source chemistry toolbox.
GitHub: github.com/ghutchis/
Thrilled to post the latest work by @OmriAb - a *major* step forward for micro-pKa prediction models: QupKake has RMSE ~0.5-0.7 by combining ML and QM #compchem
He beat commercial teams .. hire him 😉
We'll be sharing the model and all raw data soon.

I'm really honored to be representing @AvogadroChem and open chemistry in general as part of @codacy Pioneers.
I'm very curious to see how we can continue to grow both #openscience as a community as well as code quality.
Introducing Our 2023 Codacy Pioneers! 🎉
First, we'd like to thank everyone who applied to participate in our inaugural Codacy Pioneers fellowship!
Congratulations to our 13 fellows!
Check out the link to learn more about them and their projects.

Excited that @kenneylab will be joining us in Jan. '24, focusing on microbial systems to catalyze new chemistry in the context of heavy-metal resistance, biosynthesis of peptidic natural products, & metal-binding in complex environments

Last year, @greensteinbri published v1 of our OPEP model for predicting the performance of organic #solar using #compchem - this is v2 and shows tandem devices can have great performance
We're working on v3 soon (even bigger!) - happy to collaborate w/ both experiment and theory
Work by @greensteinbri @ghutchis @Pitt_Chemistry establishes one of the largest data sets of non-fullerene acceptors, a new ML-derived model of device PCE & uses them to derive new tandem solar cell designs with non-overlapping optical absorption spectra.

Great story from @NPR this morning about the challenges for Black and Hispanic pre-med students. I see it every semester in #chemistry classes here.
"I was always working, because I didn't have money and I was a work-study student."
Congrats to Dr. Spigner on graduation!
I will never get over this moment in my life 🤩🙌🏾
Full article dropped this morning!

Joan T.A. Gabel, president and chief executive of the University of Minnesota System and Twin Cities campus, has been named 19th chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh.
Gabel will be the first woman to lead the University since its founding in 1787.

Also, congratulations to everyone who tried but didn't win an NSF GRFP award this year! I also never won an NSF GRFP award. The important thing is that you were brave enough to put your ideas out there for review and criticism. Way to go to all the applicants this year!

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.
First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

For the last 7+ years, I've mentored projects for @AvogadroChem and @OpenBabel_org as part of @OpenChem
It's a great opportunity to get paid for coding #opensource #chemistry - applications are no longer limited to students - anyone new to open source is eligible too
☀ Google Summer of Code contributor applications are OPEN!
Students and open source beginners 18 years and older are welcome to apply during the 3/20-4/4 registration period.
Apply today → goo.gle/3Z2t8YM

Science is not just about memorizing facts. Hands-on science experiences allow children to see how science can be applied in the real world to make a difference. #FridayFacts #AppliedScience #RealWorldApplications
GSoC isn't limited to students anymore - anyone who's new to open source is eligible.
Want to improve your coding skills while helping #openscience and #compchem - we've mentored dozens of contributors over the last few years.
Of course students welcome too!
We're part of Google Summer of Code 2023!
Are you interested in earning $$ this summer coding #opensource #compchem?
Know a student who might want to learn and earn some $$ - let them know!
See more on the forum: discuss.avogadro.cc/t/google…
Proposals due 20 March through 4 April
This can also be a good chance if you know some younger undergrads interested in #compchem - REU and SURF summer fellowships are often targeted at rising seniors.
Know a high school student or younger undergrad interested? Let them know - up to $6000 & flexible hours / projects
