Delighted to be one of the 611 young scientists selected to participate in the 71st Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting!🎉 Looking forward to meeting bright minds! 🎊@lindaunobel #LiNO22 #compchem

[Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings @lindaunobel]

611 young scientists from 91 countries will participate in the 71st Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting! 🥳

We're excited to welcome them all to #LINO22 – and hopefully most of them to Lindau for the first on-site meeting since 2019. https://t.co/SRDGVLbCOa

[Ali Abou Taka @aaboutaka]

Excited to be presenting my work today at the ACS Fall Meeting!

🕙 10:35 AM
📍 Room 154B

I’ll be sharing insights on charge-transfer dynamics in Npe–TCNB cocrystals and how branched kinetic models provide a deeper understanding of excited-state processes.

#ACSFall #CompChem

[Ali Abou Taka @aaboutaka]

At #ACSFall2025 in Washington, DC!
I’ll present: “Unveiling ground-state orbital function relationships for photophysical property prediction in molecular crystalline materials”
📅Aug 18 |🕙10:35 AM|📍154B

Excited to connect!

[Ali Abou Taka @aaboutaka]

🌟 Thrilled to share our latest study on protonated pentapeptides YGGFL & FGGYL! Under cryo-cooled conditions, we’ve uncovered unique fragmentation pathways and the critical role of intersystem crossing. Dive into the details! 🧬💡 #photochemistry

Predicting optical properties of molecular materials for next-generation optoelectronic devices is challenging. McCaslin et al. show how ground state orbital analysis can predict excited state charge transfer in donor-acceptor materials. @laura_mccaslin

[Anna Schueth, PhD @SchuethAnna]

In every stage of my career I had a mentor.
As a student. During my PhD. As post-doc & also now. Somehow I "found" the right person at the right time. It evolved into an amazing mentorship. I am forever grateful for all the advice they gave me & still do.
Everyone needs a mentor.

We are hiring! Job opening for a postdoc position in my team @SandiaLabs. See below for job description. To apply: https://t.co/xZaS392QxY. Questions? Feel free to contact me.

[Q-Chem @QChemSoftware]

In this exciting work led by the @laura_mccaslin group, ground state analysis provides a useful metric for predicting the degree of charge transfer in donor-acceptor materials. Read the paper here: https://t.co/mNW372HZc3

[Lauren Kaori Gurley @LaurenKGurley]

BREAKING: 48K University of Calfornia TAs, postdocs & other student workers just walked off the job.

It's the largest strike in the US since 2019.

Many UC workers earn < $24k/yr. A PhD student I spoke to said they donate blood plasma to make ends meet.

@DevineJessalyn @lindaunobel It was great to finally meet you in person! Thanks for the amazing week 💫 #LINO22

[Ali Abou Taka @aaboutaka]

It is sad to experience such a thing at @lindaunobel where we are expecting open science and inspiration... #LINO22

[Ciencia Sí @ciencia_si]

En LINO22 el Nobel D. Shechtman realizó varios comentarios sensibles que ofendieron a participantes de diversas nacionalidades. El comité organizador se reunió con algunos de ellos, prometiendo tomar cartas en el asunto. Promovamos la ciencia sin fronteras.

¿Se puede separar al autor de su obra? Diversas situaciones nos recuerdan que la investigación de calidad no necesariamente demuestra la calidad de una persona. Ciencia Sí apoya la diversidad cultural y resalta la importancia del respeto entre humanos, sin distinción.
