Our development of machine-learned transferable coarse-grained models in now on Nat Chem! doi.org/10.1038/s415... I am so proud of my group for this work! Particularly first authors Nick Charron, Klara Bonneau, Aldo Pasos-Trejo, Andrea Guljas.

Extending the RANGE of Graph Neural Networks: Relaying Attention Nodes for Global Encoding Virtual nodes introduced that pass information via attention; reduces oversquashing; improves GNN on molecules; MD22!! P: arxiv.org/abs/2502.13797

Meet @cecclementi.bsky.social, Einstein Prof. of Physics at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social 🇩🇪. An ELLIS Fellow, she pioneers #AI4Science & is a member of #ELLISProgram ML for Molecule Discovery. Her research spans Biophysics & Theoretical/Chemical Physics. #WomenInELLIS

Our new preprint is out: Extending the RANGE of Graph Neural Networks: Relaying Attention Nodes for Global Encoding. arxiv.org/abs/2502.13797 We present a new architecture to address the problem of "short-sightedness" of MLFF based on GNN, which outperform in speed and accuracy Ewald-based GNN.

Many thanks to our colloquium speaker Cecilia Clementi @cecclementi.bsky.social from FU Berlin, for providing a deeper understanding of how machine learning and molecular simulations are leveraged to model protein dynamics. Keep an eye out for the video release on the HITS YouTube channel!

Don't miss our next HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium on 10 February at 2:00 PM CET! Cecilia Clementi @cecclementi.bsky.social will talk about Modeling Protein Dynamics with Machine Learning and Molecular Simulation. Sign up ow.ly/h0Wl50UQ2kX to join via Zoom or just come by. @simplaix.bsky.social

I made panettone tiramisu with mascarpone in the dough and inserts of pistachio coffee and chocolate. With my loyal sourdough starter.

Awesome paper! BioEmu from MSR: Scalable emulation of protein equilibrium ensembles with generative deep learning www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Looking forward to hearing more explanainers in tomorrow's reading group session on zoom at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 6pm CET: portal.valencelabs.com/logg

In 2024 I made a family of ceramic whales by throwing the main body on the wheel and altering the form. 🐳 Now deciding what other pottery animal I can build in 2025. Open for suggestions 😀 #ceramic #pottery

I tried to make pandoro for the first time. It’s a recipe for pandoro al cappuccino e caramello from an Italian blog I follow. Not fully satisfied with the results but @franknoe.bsky.social is excited to eat it 😀. Next weekend I will try panettone.

Merry #fishmas! This picture is from a diving trip in Raja Ampat 10 years ago but it is still one of my favorites.

Just a little Christmas feast with @cecclementi.bsky.social and team
