Is Theoretical Chemistry Really a Dead End? January 12, 2014. It took me some time, but now I want to write my first “real” blog post. As I already announced, I wanted to write a response to Mario’s blog post. I will start with the second point: Is computational and theoretical chemistry really only routine work nowadays? Is our field just becoming a service branch of chemistry? So, if routine work is to be avoided, what is there left to do? On Mario’s blog. I do not want to elaborate on the sp...And in ...

A revised version of this post has been published as a Viewpoint in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpclett.5b02609. In quantum chemistry, many program packages are available [1]. Study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose. Others are owned by commercial companies who sell them to both academic groups and industry users for a small or large fee. Interm...

Nothing is more important than backups. March 4, 2014. There is one single most important thing for running a research group as a young scientist. It is not finding good students or writing high-impact papers (of course, you should do that, too), but it is having good backups. Of everything. And to have more than one backup. In different places. In short: be completely paranoid about your backups, and it will someday pay off. Part 1: The Macbook. Part 2: The Fileserver. All this data is stored in a RAID-5.

OpenAccess: A Young Scientist’s View. February 6, 2014. Even though I wanted this blog to be mainly about science, I had some discussions about (science) politics in the last days on Twitter and Facebook. So I decided to share some of my thoughts and hope that the discussion will continue here. What is all the fuzz about? Sound all reasonable, right? So why is this policy criticized at all? 1] “Droht Wissenschaftlern der Zwang zum Selbstverlag? Follow Blog via Email. Enter your email address to follow th...
