As we finish up the 2.0 (final!) release, I’d like to feature some stories (and citations) about how Avogadro has shaped research and teaching.
So if Avogadro has helped your research, please let me know and I’ll work to include a wide range of uses and topics.
One of my colleagues using Avogadro (currently version 1) in a teaching lab exercise for all of our undergrad chemists. Would this be the sort of thing you are looking for?
Yes, definitely! I have citations to the paper, so I’m combing through those. But teaching exercises, etc. would be great to highlight too.
I’ll also be going through a selection of the citing articles (12,000 now according to Google Scholar) and doing some topic and bibliometric analysis.
