Creator: @GustavoOlivos9 will unveil the making of the figure—stay tuned!

[Joseph Baker @JosephLBaker]

Lots of great applications with GōMartini possible in the area of nanomechanics! Looking forward to more to come from collaboration between me and my students at @TCNJScience and @PomaResearch!

[Adolfo Poma @PomaResearch]

Thrilled to share our latest work on the nanomechanics of an antibody targeting #SARSCoV2, revealed by 💪GōMartini 3 simulations! 🧬 In collaboration with @CG_Martini and @JosephLBaker labs, now out in @nanoscale_rsc (Open Access). #nanotech #COVID19

Today, over 500 students from all seven schools showcased their work in papers, posters, presentations, exhibitions, and more! We applaud all our students for their hard work and dedication this Celebration of Student Achievement Day!

[Joseph Baker @JosephLBaker]

My student Noor Grewal and I are looking forward to hearing the feedback from the talk! Always interesting collaborations with @PomaResearch and his group! @TCNJScience @ChemistryTcnj #BakerCompChemLab

[Adolfo Poma @PomaResearch]

The Hünfeld workshop is in sight. Our PhD student @GustavoOlivos9 from @ipptpan will give a talk about the conformational sampling of the telomere binding protein from Monkeypox Virus with a IDR in timescales of 100 μs by GōMartini 3. #disorder #compchem #virus

[Joseph Baker @JosephLBaker]

Congrats to group members, Karolina Wielowski, Vani Lorish, and Noor Grewal, for giving their first conference talks at the 87th ISCC this weekend! All three gave fantastic talks and Karolina won the 1st place prize in computation! #TCNJ #TCNJChemistry #TCNJScience #NSFFunded

A seismogram of the magnitude 4.8 earthquake was recorded in Physics Professor Shannon Graham's office in the Science Complex at TCNJ.

According to Graham, TCNJ's resident earthquake expert, earthquakes in New Jersey are 'not common but are not unexpected.'

Rock, rock ... who's there?🪨

TCNJ physics professor Nate Magee confirmed today that the object that recently crashed landed into a home not far from campus is, indeed, from outer space.

Way to go to our Physics department for helping to solve this mystery! See Dr. Shannon Graham in the interview! @PhysicsTcnj #tcnj

[Joseph Baker @JosephLBaker]

Thanks to Catherine Fairfield for taking the fun intermission video, and to @shawnsivy, our #TCNJScience HPC admin, for all of the support this semester!

[Joseph Baker @JosephLBaker]

Great final presentations today from #TCNJchemistry comp chem advanced course students! 21 students (vast majority had never accessed a terminal 15 weeks ago) simulated proteins with Amber, analyzed data with VMD and Python, all on our #ELSA cluster at #TCNJ! #NSFfunded

[Abby OConnor @oconnorlabtcnj]

Congrats to @oconnorlabtcnj member Alexis! So proud of your accomplishments!
