I had the chance to present a poster on PolyCrit at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Theoretical Chemistry Association (SETCA), hosted by the University of Memphis. Although SETCA centers on quantum chemistry, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to introduce our newly published database to this community — especially as a follow‑up to Brinton’s presentation last year.

It was energizing to see familiar faces and meet new colleagues. Across talks and posters, I learned about a wide range of quantum topics—many not directly tied to my current project, but potentially pivotal for future directions. As someone early in my career as a computational/physical chemist, that breadth was invaluable: it highlighted problems I hadn’t considered and tools I’m excited to explore.

Thank you to the organizers, presenters, and everyone who stopped by the poster. If you’re curious about PolyCrit or have ideas for how it might intersect with your work, I’d love to keep the conversation going.
