Do You REALLY Want To Be A Computational Chemist?

Computational chemistry is rapidly advancing as a field. It's all simulations on a screen, so it can't be that hard... right? I'm definitely not laughing at you if this is your opinion. In this video, you'll find pros and cons of computational chemistry research as well as tips for getting your foot in the door in this industry. Download RDKit, an open-source computational chemistry Python library and mess around with it: https://www.rdkit.org/docs/Install.html Check out OpenMM, an open-source Python library for molecular simulations: https://openmm.org/ Want to test out some quantum chemistry? Check out Psi4: https://psicode.org/ For invaluable resources from Pat Walters, a giant in the field (he probably would not refer to himself this way), check out his website and blog: https://patwalters.github.io https://practicalcheminformatics.blog...
