Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Massive "No" phase right now. I am barely coping with the things I said yes to. 🫠 030
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 24/09/20262 times 7 h train ride. All went well. Less than 1 h overall delay. 041
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Yes 😃! Good to know the audience in advance. 010
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Great week so far: 5 h, 6 h, 6 h and now 4 h of sleep. 020

Excellent news!! #rheochem #compchem #quantumchem 0175
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Ich bin sehr, sehr ungeduldig. Trotzdem oft langsam. Das ist ein schöner Widerspruch, mit dem ich lebe. 150
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 18/08/2026"They don’t do it out of fear of Pauli!" And so one could say: Pauli himself is so "thick" because the "Pauli exclusion principle" applies—that marvelous, incomprehensible principle. Translated from "Quantenlicht" by Thomas de Padova 040
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 18/08/2026"Because the atoms are thick. Why are they thick? Because not all electrons fall into the inner shells? Why don’t they? Because of the electrostatic repulsion between the electrons? No," Ehrenfest continues. 110
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 18/08/2026As the physicist Paul Ehrenfest aptly notes, the "exclusion principle" or "Pauli exclusion principle" prevents atoms from shrinking together. "Why is a crystal as thick as it is?" Ehrenfest asks jokingly in a letter to the discoverer. 120
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I am going to Manchester next week 😁. My initial motivation was to visit the Coronation Street set. But now, I will of course also explore science, industry, music and democracy history. 370
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I sometimes have a good feeling for what is actually seen as a good paper. Sometimes, however, not. 030
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Thanks. There were a few people that tried to help. It was not easy due to the circumstances. 010
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 10/08/2026On the weekend, i had to help during a medical emergency (i called 112). Person did open their eyes thanks to an off-duty paramedic. Still, the circumstances made it very hard to bear. Thus, still thinking about it. 140
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I am often thinking back to my Boarding School times. This period was only 3 years long and it has been 18 years since then but it so fundamentally changed me, the kid without academic parents from a school in a rural part of Germany. 050
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Drakestraße, very close to Unter den Eichen. But Unter den Eichen/Drakestraße is probably even worse, guessing from my walks to the supermarket during lunch breaks. 110
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Yeah, oof. I hope it wasm't too bad. I was so angry. One car driver nearly hits me and another one screaming at me even though I did everything correctly. 100
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Car drivers in Berlin: The first one ignores my green light and simply turns in before me. The second one screams at me that my light is now red (even though it was green when I started walking). 210
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Further, it uses the MLIP features to guide materials generation as well. That's a very exciting new direction. 010
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I am excited about this paper as it builds upon our recent paper on the Transport Novelty Distance but improves the quality assessment by using compressed MLIP features. It also has ideas on how to at least penalize simple substitutions in the novelty assessment. 110
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 03/08/2026New preprint 🚀 : How can features learned by pre-trained machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) be used for both materials generation and the evaluation of generative models? arxiv.org/abs/2607.287... #CompChemarxiv.orgRepresentations from Pretrained Machine-Learning Interatomic Potentials as Coarse Coordinates for Material Generation and EvaluationGenerative machine learning is increasingly used for inorganic crystal structure generation.

Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 02/08/2026A new preprint comes out and I am excited. Weird, actually, after all those years. But I guess I would not be able to work like this if I wasn't excited! 030
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 28/07/2026(If you wanted proof that I rarely give up aka can be obsessed with things, this it is 😅.) 160
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 28/07/2026My longest paper project will hopefully soon come to an end. 😅 I have asked about this paper for the first time in 2018! 290
Reposted by Janine GeorgeDepartment of Physics at the University of Oxford @oxfordphysics.bsky.social · 27/07/2026The 1951 Festival Pattern Group transformed X-ray crystallography—including Dorothy Hodgkin’s insulin diagrams—into modern manufacturing designs, blending post-war science and art into innovative national progress. 1125
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 27/07/2026In heart, I am a chemist. I think in graphics rather than equations. 0100
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Also: clearly, this is rather unusual in the field. Mostly, I believe, because it is sometimes impossible to track down contributions. 120
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 23/07/2026In part, these contributions have been extremely substantial (years of work and many, many contributions). Others are smaller in size and work but either have added significant capability or an important bugfix. 120
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 22/07/2026It's not trivial. We made a pre-analysis. Contributions now will have to be justified exactly for the SI. 120
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Contributions from anonymous github accounts where e-mail adresses are suprrssed or commits not even connected to accounts. 110
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 22/07/2026We have been collecting contact infos for many, many coauthors. 😬 Still, a few people cannot even be identified... 130
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Spannend ist wirklich, dass Spahns Rücktritt wirklich auf der Straße diskutiert wird. Gestern im Restaurant, heute im Bus. Manchmal dann noch inklusive größerer (homphober) Monologe rund um das Thema. Aber zumindest nicht unwidersprochen. 020
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 16/07/2026It's actually okay there if you know who to skip 😅. 000
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Now people write about how inspirational the post was and I am not quite sure about that. 130
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 16/07/2026So, on LinkedIn, I did this post on some challenges I had up to my current position. I am aware many people had them. This does not make me more worthy or anything. I just had a really bad day yesterday and had to remind me that it can be worse and most of the time does get better. 180
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Lot's of wins today but also some losses. Not even fully motivated to really celebrate my old/new job. 000
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I am watching two soaps (UK/Germany). On both soaps, the murderer of recent episodes confessed the murder to their closest person exactly today (in TV, the German one is one week behind) It's a bit boring, tbh. 020

Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I am not saying that it cannot be helpful but maybe not to reinvent the wheel. 011
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 12/07/2026No idea. I follow some and look them up but then get trapped by reels. 010
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I think I have to get rid of Instagram again. The mindless scrolling wastes so much time. I could actually read instead.... 210
Janine George @molecularxtal.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Yeah. In one case, it is a clear import. Pretty sure the other parts come from the same code as well (the one, we have helped writing) 030
