MD trajectory of the week is a pretty nice result #ChemSky 🧪
An XY plot of a molecular dynamics run with RMSD of the protein alpha carbon atoms, a proxy for protein flexibility on the Y axis and time running from 0 to 300 nanoseconds on the X axis. There is a large initial jump in RMSD (atom movement) for the first 20 nanoseconds after which the protein is relatively stable

A key part of academic success is financial support It's amazing how much variation there is in terms of funding across countries. The average PhD student in Denmark makes more than a new Assistant Professor/Lecturer in the UK!

October has observed some of the largest warming trends in the #Arctic (satellite-era). This is greatest over areas with a lack of sea ice cover (nearly all of the Siberian Arctic). Arctic amplification is largest in the boreal fall. Data: doi.org/10.24381/cds.... Info: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...
Polar stereographic map of 2-m temperature trends in units of °C per decade over the Arctic for the month of October. Trends are calculated over the 1979 to 2025 period using ERA5. The largest warming is an areas of open water that were previously sea ice covered along the Siberian side of the Arctic. These trends exceed 2°C/decade in these areas.

Starting to take a peek at my local community college's computer science and computer information science curriculums to get an idea of where I want to go next with what I want to learn.

💡I’m recruiting a Social Psychology PhD student at Rutgers for Fall 2027 to study how to reduce prejudice and discrimination. More info about my lab, the Diversity Science Lab, can be found at: www.calvinklai.com Please share this post widely and with students who might be a great fit!
Hidden biases within the mind create a gap between what people value (e.g., racial equality) and what people do (e.g., racial discrimination). Our research seeks to close this gap by understanding how these biases work, figuring out how to reduce them, and developing interventions for addressing their consequences.
