Today I want to pause and shine a light on a condition that too often goes unseen. To anyone living with #trigeminalneuralgia: you are not alone. Let’s keep raising awareness, supporting research, and talking openly about invisible pain.

Disappointing to see, across both parties.
Sciex is no longer providing funding for Skyline/Proteowizard as part of the multi-vendor agreement to keep Skyline supported across all major vendors.
I can see the arguments from both sides, just a shame it's resulted in this.

Transcribed text:
Skyline Targeted Mass Spec Environment

Dear Skyline Users,

I would like to thank Agilent, Bruker, Shimadzu, Thermo Fisher, and Waters for their continued funding support for the Skyline project this year. This industry/government/university partnership allows all of us to maximize the value of our efforts to provide better mass spectrometry tools to the field. In the current federal funding environment, industry support is critical to maintain our work.

Some instrument vendors, such as SCIEX, have not invested in the Skyline project this year. As a public university, we are limited in how we can support the private sector under state law. We paused our work in Skyline and ProteoWizard on support for SCIEX instruments to remain in compliance with state law. While we hoped SCIEX would resume its funding support of the Skyline project for use with their instruments, and respect their decision not to provide funding, we cannot continue our work to support SCIEX in Skyline or ProteoWizard without SCIEX funding. We have informed the ProteoWizard Foundation of this development.

As always, we look forward to seeing many of you at ASMS or our Skyline course at UW this summer. We thank all of you for your continued support.

Brendan MacLean,

Skyline Project Lead
