@grestrepo.bsky.socialA pleasure to speak at the ERC SUSTECH Workshop in Pisa! A fantastic meeting reinforcing my belief that changing chemistry for the better requires interdisciplinary collaboration. Thanks to Elisa Giuliani, Arianna Martinelli, Stefan Wagner, and Olexandr Isayev for the invitation!
@grestrepo.bsky.socialNice, and which plans you have in mind to develop those interesting ideas?
@grestrepo.bsky.socialThanks a lot!
@grestrepo.bsky.socialEin interessantes Projekt, das @sarahalang.bsky.social und ich an der Universität Bielefeld leiten werden!

@sarahalang.bsky.socialReposted by @grestrepo.bsky.socialI am absolutely thrilled to announce @grestrepo.bsky.social and my shared #DH project "(Al-)Chemical Space In Silico (AXIS)"!
It will run 2027-2030 at Uni Bielefeld, funded by @schmidtsciences.bsky.social Humanities and AI Virtual Institute (HAVI).
@grestrepo.bsky.socialOur project (Al-)Chemical Space In Silico (AXIS) was awarded $400K by @SchmidtSciences! 🎉
With Sarah Lang, we’re using AI & lab experiments to decode alchemical recipes, uncovering lost chemistry from pre-1800 manuscripts. www.schmidtsciences.org/havi-2026-an...

@grestrepo.bsky.socialGreat to connect with fellow Editors-in-Chief at the Springer Nature meeting today. Excellent insights to bring back to Theory in Biosciences as we continue to grow and improve!
@grestrepo.bsky.socialRecently, I mentioned the importance of opening up the private chemical space to improve AI results in chemistry (rdcu.be/Tfmb6JtnYKna). This note (www.nature.com/articles/d41...) highlights how even small amounts of private data can significantly improve the performance of AI models. #chemistry #AI
@grestrepo.bsky.socialCan the maths of computational linguistics help map the history of chemistry? 🧪💻 Yes! Section 4 of this paper shows how those tools unveil changes in chemical concepts. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... (Based on fantastic work by Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb) #chemistry #linguistics #history
@grestrepo.bsky.socialThis great Terence Tao talk makes me think about the future of chemistry with AI. He asks: what is a real contribution now? What do we reward? What is truly "understood"—and who (or what) did the work? Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0--... 🧪💻 #chemistry #AI
@grestrepo.bsky.socialA real pleasure to have edited this special issue of Ambix on Computational History of Alchemy and Chemistry, together with my wonderful co-editors @sarahalang.bsky.social and Farzad Mahootian. #chemistry #history www.tandfonline.com/toc/yamb20/7...
