Where this comes from

Abstract

The Science through Computation Initiative unites sixteen early-career computational scientists spanning physics, biology, chemistry, and neuroscience. Over nine months of workshops and hackathons, they agreed on "computational motifs," fundamental challenges that recur across their scientific disciplines, built prototype tools tackling them, and distilled actionable recommendations for the wider research community.
