    This dataset supports the publication: AUTHORS: Christopher R. Taylor, Patrick W. V. Butler, Graeme M. Day TITLE: Predictive crystallography at scale: mapping, validating, and learning from 1,000 crystal energy landscapes JOURNAL: Faraday Discussions A consolidated dataset of crystal structure predictions (CSPs) for 1007 unique rigid, organic molecules with observed crystal structures in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). Each CSP is described by a &quot;landscape&quot; of hypothetical crystal structures, ranked in terms of their lattice energy; this dataset includes both the crystal structures themselves and their energy rankings. This dataset also includes two machine-learning-derived models to improve the energy ranking of crystal structures on their respective landscapes; one a committee neural-network potential (NNP) to correct energies of fixed structures, the other a message-passing neural-network (MACE) model used to re-optimise particularly difficult crystal structures.</span

    Speculative Literature in Modern Society: Octavia Butler and the Tragedy of the Commons

    What leads to peaceful prosperity and what leads to destructive collapse in any society? While it may seem daunting or overwhelming to dissect the success or collapse of a multi-faceted society, there are lenses and tools through which we are able to do so, such as political theory and speculative dystopian fiction. By using lenses to analyze the society in which we live, we are able to recognize the seeds of both prosperity and destruction in our society that may otherwise be overlooked or ignored. The speculative dystopian fiction of Octavia Butler may be considered as building upon the political theory of the tragedy of the commons. Butler provides her American audience an analysis of the root causes of this tragedy, as well as some possible preventative measures or solutions. We are able to read her novel, The Parable of the Sower, as a warning against ignoring current trends in our society which could lead to our tragedy of the commons. Octavia Butler was an American author of speculative dystopian fiction, and was the first science fiction novelist to be awarded the MacArthur Fellowship in 1955. She was born in California on June 22, 1947 and died in Washington on January 24, 2006. Butler was well-known for critiquing social hierarchies and inequalities as well as for exploring what forms healthy, sustainable communities. Her first novel in her Parable Series, The Parable of the Sower, introduces Butler’s reader to a broken community in a divided society after an environmental apocalypse. Through her protagonist, Lauren Olamina, Butler shows her reader the flaws and failures in society that lead to the community’s collapse as well as how a community can be rebuilt

    The Student Experience in a COVID-19 World: An Ethnographic Inquiry into the Experience of Butler University Students During a Pandemic

    With the abrupt closing of colleges across the United States in the spring of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent reopening in the fall of 2020, students in higher education were among some of the most affected group of individuals. In this ethnographic study, data was collected and analyzed based on student experience with COVID-19 at Butler University. The study aims to answer the research questions: How are students at a small midwestern university experiencing COVID-19? What impact are the university’s mitigation efforts having on students? How do students understand and describe University public health measures? Participant observation, semi-structured interviews and online surveys were used to further investigate this question. The pandemic was found to have contributed to social changes characterized by isolation and stress and due to a heightened norm on campus. Students experienced university communication and protocols as confusing and unclear that fueled uncertainty among the Butler community. University COVD-19 protocols, although some effective, added to the perception of blaming and action of punishment on Butler’s campus
