You can now read about some of @openforcefield's open research practices, including the industry benchmark and BespokeFit software development, in @joshhorton93's prize winning case study: ncl.ac.uk/mediav8/library/fi…

Many congratulations to @joshhorton93 for 3rd place in the @UniofNewcastle 2024 Open Research Awards for his work with @openforcefield using open science to design better force fields! And congrats to all the presenters - it's great to see so much open research!

Interested in OpenFF? Here's a great opportunity to get involved via one of our collaborators, the awesome Daniel Cole at Newcastle.
We're still on the look out for Postdoctoral Fellowship applicants to support with @openforcefield - get in touch to register your interest! ⬇️

It can be used by installing the newest release of the openff-forcefields package (openff-forcefields==2024.04.0) on conda, and loading it using the name openff-2.2.0.offxml or openff_unconstrained-2.2.0.offxml.

On Friday (April 5), the MolSSI QCArchive/OpenFF server logged over 1.09 million completed calculations in 24 hours--over 12 per sec, for creating better forcefields by @openforcefield. 🙏to the National Research Platform for supplying all the compute for this important endeavor!

Gave an invited talk a few weeks back at @MSKCancerCenter on alchemiscale (github.com/openforcefield/al…), and how we're working to scale out alchemical free energy calculations to support open data antiviral discovery for @asap_discovery via @foldingathome.
