Spikes on the move! Our work has been featured on the cover of the current issue of @ScienceMagazine. @Beck_Laboratory @HerringsKing @flblanc @_mischi @SoBuelow @WimJHH @MPIbp @embl @PEI_Germany
Thanks, @oooitsplasma, it's amazing!

I tested that. It's good.

Gotta go fast🦔

Are your MD simulations as fast and efficient as they could be? In our latest preprint, we use MDBenchmark to test HPC parameters that affect your GROMACS (@GMX_TWEET) simulation performance: https://t.co/yTWQQySjDH

New reference paper of #NAMD just submitted !! Time to updated PHILLIPS2004 with PHILLIPS2020. Hope we'll find the same love that the community has been bestowing for the last 16 years @emadtaj @rafaelcbernardi @tcbguiuc @BeckmanInst @ASUBiodesign

Great news! The Theoretical Biophysics group was awarded 20 million core hours on SuperMUC-NG @LRZ_DE to simulate spike glycoproteins on the surface of SARS-CoV-2. Details coming soon! @BioPhysMatt @flblanc @_mischi @sobuelow @HerringsKing @maxplanckpress #covid19

I'm so bored I started writing the documentation of other people's code. (Already did mine last week)

The true performance of simulations and models in this pandemic might become clear only months or years from now. But to understand the value of #COVID19 models, it’s crucial to know how they are made and the assumptions on which they are built. https://t.co/ZP2MXc25L8

@esaoperations @TheRegister @esamarswebcam I had made a class presentation on #MarsExpress in first year of high school... 14 years ago or so! It makes me happy that the probe is still working after all this time. Well done @esaoperations!
