I was also really looking forward to showing off these awesome new pins from @littlescienceco at the #apsmarch meeting - but hey, now y'all can see them up close here instead 🙂✨

And yes, your vote matters. The results of this election will absolutely affect you. https://t.co/Ettg2AdnGw

Dear Americans - Please VOTE today. And vote Democratic. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz promise our country a future for everyone. The alternative promises only corruption, hate, and a return to the most shameful moments of our past. Please make the right choice. 💙

Congratulations to #MLIP23 poster and talk prize winners, @jwasci Patricia König @fhi_mpg_de, Sonia Salomoni @Sorbonne_Univ_ , Marthe Guren @UniOslo, Nicklas Österbacka @chalmersuniv and Raffaele Cheula @AarhusUni_int
And with that, it’s a wrap for now!

[Jigyasa Nigam @jigyasa_nigam]

The stage is set, we turn up the heat in winter wonderland @AaltoUniversity with the kickoff of
#MLIP23 with our enthusiastic speakers and participants! First up an overview by @veit_max and the dream of realistic simulations in the golden age of MLPs by @m_a_caro

[Dr. Rose Cersonsky (she/her/hers) @RosyCers]

Made it to @AaltoUniversity! Excited to spend the next few days discussing machine learned potentials and infrastructure. Even more excited to spend time with some friends.

(Yes I am standing on a step. @__luthaf__ and @veit_max are very, very tall)

Sorry if you've heard this one before... but:

THIS IS AN eX-TWITTER! IT HAS CEASED TO BE!

[Max Veit @veit_max]

Oh no: #smbc #hiveworks https://t.co/71qjgY7Gvv

@lgigli90 @lab_COSMO @MicheleCeriotti Great to finally see this published! It's a perfect example of all the nice things you can do when an ML potential and ML polarization model join forces - phase transitions, dielectric properties, and atomic insights, all derived directly from DFT.

I think the most important* part of this study may be the picture of this dog "trained to lay still" in an fMRI machine https://t.co/cyvRDNsjmq via @motherboard

If you're at #apsmarch go watch the session "S29: Speaking up for the human rights of scientists" (recording online). Every scientist should be aware of this advocacy work from Sakharov's time to today, especially in light of Putin's ongoing atrocities in #Ukraine.

[Max Veit @veit_max]

This is in less than an hour! If you're at #apsmarch in person, check out our talks in the session "N69: Polarization switching and phase transitions in ferroelectrics". Lorenzo @lgigli90 will be speaking first about our ML potential energy surface and phase transitions.

[Max Veit @veit_max]

Looking forward to sharing our results on integrated ML simulation of #ferroelectric BaTiO₃ at the #apsmarch meeting next week! Be sure to catch both Lorenzo's and my presentations starting just past 1pm on Wednesday: https://t.co/Cr9nTqDuHH

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them right here 👇

It could not be more obvious that Britain has problem with institutional and systemic racism. We do not need any more apologies or investigations without action.

We need policy and a practice upheaval which will support ethnic minority people at all stages of their lives.

[Max Veit @veit_max]

@m_a_caro Ah, so like this then: https://t.co/Cg0q71YaA7

[Max Veit @veit_max]

I feel like such a child, giggling uncontrollably after learning that the Finnish word for "tree" is "puu" (yes, it's pronounced like the English word "poo", as far as I can tell)

[Max Veit @veit_max]

Interesting - wonder if the ERC or other grant agencies are planning similar policies?

Removing the impact factor and other flawed metrics is a big positive step, but I wonder about the "academic age" -- really, we shouldn't need to put _any_ age at all.

[Max Veit @veit_max]

@m_a_caro Oh dear... then again, I've heard Finnish speakers have their own private moments of amusement hearing English/French/etc. phrases with their own unfortunate meanings in Finnish. I just haven't learned those words yet 😄

[Max Veit @veit_max]

Ok, I better stop before I get into the "log" puns and this thread falls truly off the edge of bad taste.

[Max Veit @veit_max]

Apparently it also means "wood", so even better.

Q: What natural product is among Finland's most important exports?
A: Puu.
