So what happens if the government shutdown looms into mid/late November? Does that mean no government labs at SC this year?

My halloween costume came in. My daughter was not happy that I got a lot of attention dressed as an inflatable Olaf last year. So I decided to change it up this year. Was not at the top of my list but no one seems to be selling an inflatable Pandy Paw costume for adults - yet.

I will be attending the Supercomputing conference this year in St. Louis. If there any colleagues in HPC or former Gordon research group members who would like to get together for lunch during SC - please shoot me a message so that we can plan something.
Very curious how the BBQ is in the STL.

🚀 The Solution Every Computational Chemist Has Been Waiting For
What if you could install GAMESS in under 5 minutes and start running quantum chemistry calculations immediately? For over 40 years, installation nightmares have stolen days of research time.

This year I decided to load the nine SC25 technical papers I was assigned to review into Speechify to give my eyes a break from reading.
Technical paper review is much more fun when Snoop Dog, Gwyneth Paltrow, or Obama is reading it to you.
One area where Speechify fails is with math equations.
