Due to popular demand, I am sharing my slide deck on #environmental costs of #ML in #compchem & #materials_science www.grynova-ccc.org/other.html - incl. work by @skepteis.bsky.social @pschwllr.bsky.social and others.
Please send any other relevant resources my way, I’ll be maintaining this deck.

How do your #linguistic, #economic & #gender backgrounds impact your #scientific productivity? @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social & co reveal that being a woman, a non-native English speaker, and from a low-income country is associated with a 70% reduction in productivity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n3RLRQ

Scientific productivity gap based on English-language peer-reviewed papers. Shown are the maximum % differences in the number of peer-reviewed papers published by female native English speakers from a high-income country (-45%), female non-native English speakers from a high-income country (-60%), and female non-native English speakers from a lower-middle income country (-70%), compared to male native English speakers from a high-income country (red flag).

This is such a good TED Talk. Especially if you know the YouTube channel There I Ruined It.

Raises good questions about the role and value of AI in the creative process.

Is AI ruining music?

What makes music “real” — is it the instruments, the voice, the creator’s intention or something else entirely? Dustin Ballard, the creative force behind the viral channel “There I Ruined It,” explore...

Interested in predicting magnetism in transition metal compounds? We have written a paper on how to use exchange heuristics in such models. We also show limits of current theoretical approaches.
Please find our preprint here.

Can simple exchange heuristics guide us in predicting magnetic properties of solids?

There‘s always some gems, but you have to look for them. And you will find more of them away from the top of the streaming charts, of course.

Yep, Billie Eilish writes her songs together with her brother Finneas and he also produces the songs. The album Hit Me Hard and Soft that they released last year is really good.

But I also hope you didn‘t skip The Subway by Chappell Roan in the current charts, that‘s another one I really like.

Scientific organizations (or any really): please be aware that if you host international conferences in the US, you will be excluding quite a few people from this point on, for whom the risk is just not worth it.

two men are standing next to each other in front of a wall with the word excellent written on it .

Alt: The movie characters Bill and Ted from the movie Bill and Ted‘s Excellent Adventure are standing in front of a painted wall. They are shouting the word „Excellent“ at the same time and mimic playing a guitar

I also realized in the past years as an editor that this appears to be a controversial statement in some parts of the chemistry community.

Lisa Pecher @lisipea.bsky.social · May 10

You can add "Molecular orbital theory is a model and oversimplification of multi-electron systems that also has no reality (but, to be fair, it is a damn good model)"
Chemistry is full of constructs with no physical reality that help us understand molecules really well. That‘s what I love about it.
