Please come by for a chat! I'll be there during breaks throughout the day too!
Last year, @MDAnlaysis released a whitepaper outlining our proposed "MDAKits" -> github.com/MDAnalysis/MDAKit… For those at #bps2023, hear more at @HighSpeedMode's poster(B446) on MDA today But first, let's take a quick walk through MDAKits the idea behind them- with some cute cats!

Anyone know folks at/working with Google Scholar? We're having some problems with how LiveCoMS journal articles appear in Google Scholar (many articles get collapsed into a single entry) and it would help if we can talk with a human about what we can do to improve the situation.
