Adaptive hybrid density functionals cure the spin gap problem in DFT! Optimal HF exchange admixture ratios for specific molecules of arbitrary size and composition, obtained on the fly from amon based #QML models trained across #chemicalspace, result in much improved hybrid DFT predictions: Introducing the revised revQM9 data set! Amazed by the hard work of @DanishK42 @Albd90 MaxAch and OlivierTrottier https://t.co/CK6r9QO8VZ #compchem

Well that’s official I have zero confidence in the NSERC system. I have 8 papers over 100 citations, a post doc lined up at Cambridge and make the short list for a jr research fellowship, but I can’t get a PGS-D. Something is totally wrong with the system we have in Canada.
