Together with friends from Princeton (Ian C. Bourg) and UC Berkeley/LBNL (Laura Lammers, Karol Kulasinski), PI Michael Holmboe organized a 2-day course on Molecular Dynamics Simulations of (bio)inorganic systems at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (www.ipgp.fr) prior last weeks Goldschmidt conference. Many thanks to the people at HPC2N for setting up guest accounts on their computers (although unfortunately our wifi was not always that reliable…).
