Did you always want to know more about snot and all the things it can tell you? Well do I have a show for you! This week's #THEProteomicShow me and Ben @proteomicsnews.bsky.social sit down with Jennifer Mulligan to talk snot. Find it wherever you find fine podcasts or anchor.fm/theproteomic...

NEW EPISODE! 🤧As part of the US HUPO sponsored "All the Parts", Ben and Ben sat down to talk with Dr. Jennifer Mulligan, University of Florida and Co-Director, UF Health Smell Disorders Program. Listen Now: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4FUFJibzPSBXaNkKHiSgMQ?si=afyAJWW1Q2-UAGYbJ7LxxQ #USHUPO

Almost forgot, you can find the latest episode of #THEProteomicsShow out today as we continue our biological voyage. This week me and Ben @proteomicsnews.bsky.social talked to Lekha Sleno about tears. No crying it was awesome. Find it wherever you find fine podcast or here anchor.fm/theproteomic...

We're hiring! Two fully funded PhD positions are open in my group at KTH/SciLifeLab, both in the intersection between machine learning, mass spectrometry, and proteomics. One EU MSCA-funded, one DDLS. Details below 👇

#EpiSky #policysky #polisky 🛟 🫁🧪 🌍⚖️ Environmental Health Perspectives journal, originally published by NIEHS, is now back online @acs.org.

On second thought…..

We did a plasma proteomics study on dengue disease severity in children with Tineke Cantaert and identified early markers of endothelial and inflammatory activation. Great work by @tshamorkina.bsky.social and Sofia! Thanks to all co-authors @hecklab.bsky.social. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

Anyone need some bay leaves?

Kind of stunned to see this in my inbox, as I had not been aware of Lucas’ passing. Glad to know HUPO will keep his legacy alive.

Our paper out today combines my love of blood proteomics and a seriously awesome group of experts I am humbled to be included alongside. Thanks to @ypriverol.bsky.social and Asier Larrea-Sebal for leading. This is a great modern review with a nod to non-MS data. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Any recommendation for bead beating large pieces of FFPE tissues? Using 10% SDS plus 1.4 mm zirconium beads doesn’t do much.

MS/MS scan range can be an afterthought that doesn't receive attention in method design, but improper settings can affect experimental outcomes. This is especially true in glycoproteomics. A #glycotime thread about a new #JASMS paper on this idea from @riley-research.bsky.social 1/10

Never disappointed when I go to #ushupo , always a great conference

Another awesome #USHUPO in the books. @ucdproteomics.bsky.social is already planning the tour of “Better Call Saul” filming locations for next year in Albuquerque.

Were you at #USHUPO2026 and saw Ben @proteomicsnews.bsky.social and Renã Robinson with Natalie Clark @nmclark2.bsky.social for a LIVE recording of #THEProteomicsShow? Well, I wasn't either, but we now we can bathe our ears in this audio. Find it wherever you find podcasts. anchor.fm/theproteomic...

Quick proteomics question: we want to use an exogenous biotin blocking scavenger for a TurboID experiment. We tried Biolock but is very inconsistent in our hands. Does anyone have another suggestion?

If you are in STL for #USHUPO2026 next week, #THEProteomicsShow is gonna be *LIVE* Monday night at 6:30pm. We've done this a few times now and its always a blast. I can't wait to hear Ben @proteomicsnews.bsky.social and Renã Robinson... and a guest picked immediately before! (volunteers needed!)

9 billion?

Here’s your Golytely challenge right here

Another plasma enrichment methodology. I'm not a huge fan of high-throughput approaches that require a dry down and reconstitution step, but this seems like the type of approach that is destined for commercialization.

www.nature.com/articles/s41... @benneely.com was the one who taught me about Jane Richardson, the woman who developed ribbon diagram visualization for the 3D structure of proteins! 👩‍🔬🧪🍝🧬💻

Trump is absolute human garbage

Question for the #proteomics community 👇 What should proteomics repositories be doing today (use cases, features, research) that we’re currently missing? Would love your input—RT to reach more voices. #opendata #mass-spectrometry #proteomics

Many of you are likely unaware but small business grants are currently not a thing because Congress is a mess. "Active NIH SBIR and STTR awards can continue, however NIH will not issue noncompeting continuation awards for existing projects until the SBIR/STTR program is reauthorized."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

#AminoAcidAdvent Day 6: Cysteine (Cys; C) Like Mork & Mindy, these stinky residues love to bond! Jerks like us break these bonds, with chemoproteomics trying to map, probe, and manipulate them. Leftovers stuck to S-S is a fun field but I love them for their antioxidant and metal binding abilities.

I'm on the job market. Including my graduate student days, here is my experience. 18 yrs of protein biochemistry 17 yrs of assay design 16 yrs of science writing 11 yrs of membrane proteins 11 yrs of eukaryotes 8 yrs of cryo-electron microscopy 7 yrs of X-ray crystallography 7 yrs of prokaryotes

Great lab and great opportunity, take a look and get in touch with luke if you want more details

Quick heads up - there will soon be a job posting for a Staff Scientist / Senior Staff Scientist in our lab in Copenhagen to support all our mass spec proteomics adventures! Great colleagues, lots of cool projects… and you’ll get to work with me 😅 Please DM if you’re interested!

In case you missed the live #THEProteomicsShow with me and Ben Orsburn @proteomicsnews.bsky.social, it was pretty fun. HUGE thanks to the organizers of #HUPO2025 for inviting us, and for Ken Weke (Univ. of Victoria) for being our guest. Definitely check it out wherever you get podcasts, or here:

Hey @asms.org peeps. I’m running for VP for programs and I’d like your vote. Check out the asms web site for details and you will see an email with voting instructions in the near future. I approach this position with lots of experience organizing scientific conferences & I ❤️ asms. Please re-sky.

“Modest correlation” @proteomicsnews.bsky.social

You can make a multi-course meal with NIST standards. Quenelles de SRM 1946 anyone? Mousse au SRM 2384? Finishing with an SRM 1196, if you're so inclined. @benneely.com can probably tell you how to best prepare the SRM 1945.

NIST PB&J? @benneely.com

99% of lc-ms systems generated in Biorender are an Ultimate with Tribrid so this opens up some new options :)

At least there's a good soundrack......https://youtu.be/gYK1NGpUZXY?si=eT3OJH-6D9KBF5Fc

NIH scientists say that mRNA vaccines have saved untold thousands of lives. A heroin addled nepo baby whose brain was partially eaten by a worm says mRNA vaccines are worthless and even dangerous. For busy medical patients, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Predictably after a few weeks of a favorable exchange rate had our most expensive meal (meh; have to get used to tipping again) in the Minneapolis airport with mouse running around the restaurant. A few highlights…

@pride-ebi.bsky.social bot needs a little refinement....

It’s #Caturday so of course I am catching up on work instead of tending to the garden. At least Arlo is keeping me company.

#Caturday still life (with still life).

Award-winning cayenne, or mislabeled tag? Seems way too big. I’ll have to cut into it I guess.

Detecting cytokines in neat plasma/serum is hard, especially without any internal standards. Neither raw data nor Skyline files are made available.

The only “King’s” I need. #NoMoreKings #DurhamNC

What would it take to revive the Proteomics Old Time Radio Hour? It has come up a lot recently. @ucdproteomics.bsky.social @benneely.com @leannewg.bsky.social

Everyone talks about LLMs and AI in bioinformatics in terms of big breakthroughs. But the real impact I see is in the small things—data formatting, ID conversions, reproducibility. These tools free us up to focus on the science that truly matters.

South Florida meteorologist @johnmoralestv.bsky.social told his viewers live on air that he can no longer accurately predict hurricane season, due to federal government cuts.
