To inspire, motivate and support young scientists in computational and theoretical chemistry
Women Make Computational Chemistry
We are excited to organize the “Women Make Computational Chemistry (COMP)” symposium at the American Chemical Society national meeting. The symposium is dedicated to young women at the graduate and post-doctoral level, who will have the opportunity to present their research and receive mentorship from established women PIs at different level of the career in academia and industry. This event is sponsored by the ACS Computers in Chemistry Division. Women Make COMP is a biannual event of the ACS!
Ada Lovelace (1815–1852) is a role model for “Women Make COMP”. Ada was an English mathematician and writer, known for having founded computing science. She wrote the first computer program, showing that computers could do much more than just calculations. Her visionary perspective pioneered our computer age. Read our Viewpoint on JCIM!
Computations & Coding in Palermo Lab – Learn Python & R
We are hosting an annual program dedicated to high school teachers and students, aimed at teaching the foundations of computational chemistry and biology. We provide a first hands-on experience in our computational laboratory and the opportunity to pursue a computational research project on the most recent breakthroughs in biology and chemistry. Contact us to join our program as a high school teacher or student.
Making it Rain: Cloud-Based Molecular Simulations for Everyone
“Making it Rain” is a user-friendly front-end for running molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using cloud computing, independently developed by Dr. Pablo R. Arantes, post-doc in our lab. “Making it Rain” uses the Google Colab framework to implement an easy MD framework for educational purposes, as a hands-on approach when learning MD simulations. Our lab is extensively using “Making it Rain” for teaching MD simulations and cloud-computing to high-school and undergraduate students through the online tools made available by Dr. Pablo R. Arantes.
