Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

President Donald Trump’s administration has terminated $352 million in grants and contracts this year to the Research Triangle Institute, the United States’s third largest independent research organization, a report estimates.

Proud to share our collaborative effort between the Taiwan Cancer Moonshot Program and the NCI’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), delivering an integrative proteogenomic atlas of lung adenocarcinoma. Open-access link: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Movie you've watched more than 6x using a gif (no Disney, Star Wars, LOTR, or Star Trek).

We're looking for a new PhD candidate to join the lab. Please share 🌱😄

HEY PROTEOMICS PEOPLE! Can you comment here where you learned to do proteomics? I started putting up a survey but based on just the 64 people on our podcast there are too many options for a multiple choice survey effectively. Thank you!

Awesome to see my good friend & amazing scientist Jeff Dangl share with Jonathan Jones and Brian Staskawicz the 2025 Wolf Prize in Agriculture for their pioneering work on plant disease resistance 🧪1/n wolffund.org.il/jeffery-l-da...

Can someone please explain to my 11 month old that we lost an hour so he should sleep an hour later, not get up an hour earlier? In other news, this is my annual complaint about DST. I'm so tired 😴

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

Travel permits of all US government employees (USDA, NSF) have been revoked shortly before the the maize meeting affecting: - The chair of the meeting - The winner of the most prestigious McClintock award - A plenary speaker - Two short talk presenters - 22 scientists presenting posters. #MGM2025

NIH websites are down because of a DNS attack. They are working on it. Via reddit.

Just arrived for #USHUPO2025! Excited to give a talk at the #CPTAC workshop Monday evening. Feel free to reach out directly if you'd like to chat about multi-omics analysis!

congrats to Brendan Floyd, postdoc in @carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social lab on his exciting work "mapping the nanoscale organization of the human cell surface proteome" High resolution, High Effort, and Creative Analytics produce new views of the cell surface www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

To US colleagues who have lost or are in imminent danger of losing their jobs: please DM whether we can accommodate your research.

There is a whole crop of us who lost our minds trying to ramp up careers while handling ever-changing childcare arrangements. Our family went ~ two years without a solid month of scheduled childcare. It has taken so much time & energy to recover, w/the loss of productivity still being felt.

Great to be posting science again!! Very proud of this work, thanks to a wonderful collaboration with Forest White lab at MIT, Cantley lab at DFCI, and leb by the amazingly talented @alissandra-hillis.bsky.social! Published as fully @openaccess.bsky.social in PNAS. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The Salk Institute shared the sad news that Prof. Joanne Chory passed away yesterday due to complications from Parkinson’s disease. She was one of the most influential biologists of our time. And this is how I will remember Joanne, expertly guiding us on where to go. Joanne, we will miss you! ❤️

Given that Trump’s numbers didn’t grow significantly and a bunch of people who voted for Biden stayed home for Harris, now is the time to think about why! And I join other Black feminists in not believing that it’s all interpersonal racism toward Kamala. Lots of factors to think through.

Introduction time! I am Natalie Clark, currently a Computational Scientist in the Proteomics Platform at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. I previously was a hybrid wet-lab/computational scientist performing large-scale transcriptomic and proteomics experiments in Arabidopsis and corn. (1/2)
