UB-CompChem listserv and Meetings and Event Calendar go live
Johannes set up a listserv called “ub-compchem-list@listserv.buffalo.edu”, which finally went live today. The idea is to have a listserv where seminars, talks, group meetings, events, etc can be announced to everybody interested in the theory, modeling, and simulation of chemical systems at UB. It is designed as a tool to improve the communication and tighten the bonds between the different theory groups on campus. A corresponding Meetings and Event Calendar was set up as well.
