I'm deeply honoured to receive this award, which is named in memory of my academic grandfather, Tom Ziegler, a true pioneer in theoretical chemistry. Amazingly, we got 4 generations in one photo at a CSC meeting.

[Chemical Institute of Canada @CIC_ChemInst]

The Tom Ziegler Award is presented to a scientist who has made an outstanding contribution to theoretical and/or computational chemistry. Congrats to @Carleton_U Professor Christopher Rowley on being the recipient of this award https://t.co/v8uPCytEK9 @RowleyGroup #CSCAwards

I was astonished to learn rapamycin was discovered in soil samples from a 1964 Canadian medical expedition to Easter Island. Suren Sehgal, the Canadian scientist who lead the research, didn't have a wikipedia entry, so I wrote one: https://t.co/Jsv8DEQYaK

Huge congratulations to @wetmorelab for a very well-deserved award!

[Chemical Institute of Canada @CIC_ChemInst]

The Clara Benson Award is presented to recognize a woman who has made a distinguished contribution to chemistry while working in Canada. Congratulations to Stacey Wetmore of @uLethbridge on being the recipient of this award. https://t.co/Iv0a4kq2Dr

[Christopher Rowley @RowleyGroup]

Great visit to @chemuoft chemical physics theory group for PhD defence. Congratulations Dr. Colberg!

[Christopher Rowley @RowleyGroup]

Thrilled to have @LouiseDawe visit from @WLUChemBiochem as the 2025 Don Wiles lecturer.

[Anatole von Lilienfeld @ProfvLilienfeld]

Looking for a computational scientist who's interested in a permanent position in Toronto. Physics background, and some QM & ML experience a must. If you're at the #APSMarchMeeting come talk to me after my talk!

[Christopher Rowley @RowleyGroup]

Very proud that PhD grad @ernest_chemist has taken a position as a Senior Scientist at Schrodinger Inc!

[Digital Discovery @digital_rsc]

Our next article by @cortogantese et al: "Graph neural nets like SchNet and AIMNet self-organize chemical space according to chemical moieties. Whatever is close in chemical sense is also Euclidean close in latent embedding space." https://t.co/IlFEWFLFJq #ChemAI #XAI #CompChem

[Christopher Rowley @RowleyGroup]

New preprint on our group's graph neural network classifier to predict of a compound will react with a protein nucleophile. We predict that the ~5% of the ChEMBL database is protein-reactive. https://t.co/PfuYIhSEzp
