PhD Students - 8 tools to help you in your literature review.
Every PhD student needs to conduct a literature review.
A solid literature review takes at least 2-3 months. Using tools, you can reduce this time by 50%.

Fun visit with Bayside High students to talk about STEM education pathways and our new Brevard Boundless Opportunity Program. Thanks to @LMSjets for hosting!
Emmy Noether’s proof connecting conservation laws to invariances is one of the most important results in twentieth century physics. Her contributions to abstract algebra were highly significant. #Noether#Noetherian_rings#Conservation_laws#invariances
I’m of doing a zoomposium on Assembly Theory https://t.co/R82Nl8TBQe this Friday 13th Oct at 5 PM BST for 60 mins. Open to all. Zoom link here: https://t.co/Xy708dab9h Please like if coming & retweet to spread the word.
Many thanks to my student Dorothea and my collaborator Manasvi Lingam @FloridaTech, and also special thanks to @pathikbar & @mhg_group for inviting me to contribute to this special issue.
Just accepted in Mol Phys. I'm very proud of this work, especially b/c it will be included in a special issue dedicated to Dr. Tim Lee, one of my former collaborators and mentor, who suddenly passed away last year. #astrochemistry#compchem https://t.co/zoOAAC7Lqs
Long overdue, our next paper is finally out:
Comparison of the Performance of Density Functional Methods for the Description of Spin States and Binding Energies of Porphyrins https://t.co/u2tLmkL9zc #mdpimolecules via @Molecules_MDPI
This is the best answer to the"Everyone can do calculations"quote of Chef Gusteau's memory I've seen. This is why you can't just run GaussView and think your B3LYP/6-31G* calculation is good enough to publish, then call yourself a "computational chemist." #compchem
This is shocking news... Godspeed Dr. Lee, you were a great scientist, colleague, and mentor. Deepest condolences to his Family and friends... @pathikbar
AstroPAH #93 (@AstroPah) is out.
There you can find a tribute to the great Dr. Tim Lee, who sadly passed away ealier this month, and an In Focus article written by me.

@physicsteo @ChemMiroChem I think they'll play against us on December 18th. I don't think there will be any other game of interest scheduled on that day... Or even better, we should organize a tournament with Belgium and Germany in there as well #alternateworldcup#sharethepain
Good to see #DensityFunctionalTheory making strides and getting recent mentions in the podcast-/youtube-/twitter-verses from two of my favorite scientists @seanmcarroll@skdh. Thank you! Our little field is looking for visibility! #DFT#compchem
@lgoer_compchem Lars, so sorry to hear this... 😔 It's happening more and more frequently these days, it happened to us recently as well. Uncivil behavior is unacceptable, we should all make sure that this does not become the norm for our field
Important #FloridaTech#research may give insight in enabling future designs of other molecules that can modulate #brain signals. https://t.co/l1R1NeyZLf
@JGBrandenburg@timgould_scienc @LeNhanPham1 Came here to say exactly this. Let's call it "the B3LYP effect," it has so much inertia that it's hard to convince people not to use it, since it's not the state-of-the-art anymore
@lgoer_compchem Correction, Multiwfn is indeed open source, but yet I believe there are advantages in using gMultiwfn, if nothing else at least it's github based, while multiwfn's website is painfully slow
