I built a @marimo.io-native autograder for computational science courses. Here's what student setup looks like. 👇

Great to be at #Psik2025 in Lausanne along with a strong contingent from @hetsys.bsky.social. I am giving talk C1.09 at 17:45 today in Room 1 on fine tuning foundation MLIPs for applications in chemomechanics of structural materials- do come along if interested!

That’s a wrap on our CECAM multiscale workshop. As organisers we were very happy with event, which has continued to nurture this vibrant and interdisciplinary community, nucleated in part by Sandro De Vita. Personally I was very proud of all the HetSys students for their excellent presentations!

Thrilled that two PhD students from my group and #HetSysCDT passed their vivas with minor corrections: Lakshmi Shenoy today, and Iain Best two weeks ago. Thanks to @erikbitzek.bsky.social, Tom Hudson, @pbro.bsky.social and Michael Herbst for acting as examiners and congrats to Lakshmi and Iain!

Like many others, I’ve made one of these world clouds from scholargoggler.com. Very happy with the result, represents the key themes of my research very nicely.
