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.

Hey #TeamMassSpec, we are seeking a few savvy Skeeters to create content for JASMS social media over the next year. If you are here at #ASMS2025 make yourself known by coming to the Info counter near badge printing tomorrow btwn 9:30-10:45AM. Bennies include free conference registration and t-shirt!

#Glycoproteomics folks: we are looking for beta testers for a commercial glycopeptide enrichment kit. Anyone interested please DM me. #glycotime

Finally asked to return this since checking it out in 2006. No renewal allowed. It did look good on my bookshelf.

New preprint out! We benchmarked five plasma enrichment methods and developed an automated, cost-effective MagNet workflow. Up to 4,200 proteins/sample identified using DIA on timsTOF Pro 2 with, at just a few dollars/sample. doi.org/10.1101/2025... #PlasmaProteomics #DIA #timsTOF #Evosep

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Paper alert. Postpartum CSF, microflow LC-MS (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...) & PXD045906. Maybe next to last CSF "true" microflow (100 uL/min, 1 mm i.d.) we do. Free access: authors.elsevier.com/c/1l2SL3OfKx...

New preprint alert (second try). We've been optimizing methods for proteomics and PTM enrichment from dried blood (on Mitra devices) for some time. This pilot longitudinal study sepsis is our first application to patient samples: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/n

1/2 Thrilled to share my first preprint from my postdoc in #TrostLab, NCL 🚀We developed PhagoCyt, a flow cytometry-based method to isolate Salmonella-containing phagosomes, coupled with ultra-sensitive proteomics to map host-pathogen interactions in depth. Check it out here 👉 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

I literally saw this pic stood up and took this......

#Caturday. Our house isn’t completely overrun with cat toys as this picture might suggest 🤣

This is an amazingly brave and well written letter of resignation by a PCCM physician and public servant who has decided that staying in a role at the NIH caused such moral dissonance that he had to leave Kudos, Josh

I bet you guys have already discussed this one but it was new to me this morning and very very strange. proteomicsnews.blogspot.com/2025/04/prep...

Me and my better half in Durham today. News of DOGE at Peace Corps HQ yesterday :(

Advantages of moving data on the weekend.

The weekend is always a good time to work on my “6 degrees”. Added Eddie Vedder as a 3rd degree based on this pic :)

Our Translational Proteomics team is recruiting a Senior Scientist! We're based in Gaithersburg, MD, USA. A great opportunity to apply your skills to clinical trial samples, helping to develop new oncology drugs. Please share! astrazeneca.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/Careers/job/...

I wonder where these paws have been? #Caturday

Attention Skyline Users? Going to ASMS and have an interesting application of Skyline or Panorama? March 14th is the abstract deadline for the Skyline User Group Meeting. skyline.ms/project/home... #proteomicsky #massspecsky #massspec
