Hello! 👋 Most of you are friends from Twitter/X already, but for those new connections, a brief intro:

I'm a #massspectrometry #proteomic scientist 👩‍🔬, and CTO/co-founder of a #DrugDiscovery company working on targeting transcription factors called Talus Bio. 1/

We need FAIR practices in data and code sharing (as always), but with vibe coded tools there must be a benchmark comparison. Remember when new proteomics algorithms compared to Mascot and MS-GF+? We need that now. I would point to proteomicsML, but more is needed, and impetus lies with authors.

Less than a week until an incredible opportunity for postgraduate students to expand their knowledge of proteomics and #LearnConnectGrowExplore with us at #UPSS2026! The weather forecast is moderate to hot 🌞 with some periodic rain that will hopefully provide some relief!

Part of me loves how bad this is, but maybe I’m also terrified someone takes it and runs with it. 😬😱

Another photo from the pump failure. Quite a doozy. On the plus side the service contract will cover this and with the new parts the instrument will be tip-top. This is a Lumos BTW, we use it for DDA HCD/EThcD on immunopeptidome samples.

It's an interesting press release as it leaves out that It's the paper that reproduces MAPS by the Searle lab (pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...).

Is anyone else getting through a terrible project that needs to be done, just so it won't go into next year? 😂

In case you're wondering how bad it can be, this one involves Excel macros (not writing them, though). #chemchat

Advice I now give to grad students and postdocs in the sciences: Don’t just try to meet and impress senior scientists. They’ll retire soon. Get to know your fellow students - make friends where possible, be colleagues at least. These are the people you’ll be sharing the field with for decades.

Excited to share our newest paper in @emboreports.org! We used proximity-labeling proteomics to examine how different disease mutations in SHP2 alter its interactions and localization. This was a huge undertaking led by former graduate student Anne an Vlimmeren.

Y'all. I forgot the isopropanol soak.

Unexpectedly quenching and evotip'ping 7x 96-well plates' worth of samples today. It truly is the season.
Watch out, it's that time of year again. The PI is getting back into the lab.

#AminoAcidAdvent Day 20: Asparagine (Asn; N)

You know how sometimes you over do it when nogging your eggnog and you wake up feeling like ass(n), well, that’s the penultimate day of this. It’s like mini glutamine, but also maybe hydrolizes to Asp in aging 🤷‍♂️. FYI was asparagiN according to Dayhoff.
