============================================================================== Title: Programmatic article Date: 11-03-2021 ============================================================================== I have wondered several times what this section should be. What should I write about? What language should I use? Should I focus only on a specific field or have a wider horizon? Personally I would like to discuss the more modern frontiers of theoretical chemistry, but the difficulty of the language and the complexity of the arguments would certainly be a problem. On the other hand such a specific perspective could be limiting - if only because many might get bored. Another noteworthy point: scientific news would provide a lot of material to write about. But a dedicated column requires constant commitment - which I cannot guarantee. So here is my solution. I will write two kind of posts: - a series of articles entitled "Erwin's Coffee Break" in which I will try to tell something about what I study and what I would like to deal with in life; - a second series of unorganized posts not related to a specific topic. Since I am very lazy, the length of the posts will always be *short*. I am positive that in this way users can read them more easily as well as I can just as easily write them. I will try to write *one* ECB article per month, by the way there will be no strict timeline. As for the other serires of articles, well, I still don't have a precise idea, so if you guys have any raccomendations, they are welcome. See you soon
