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:
The Proteomics Show • A podcast on Spotify for Creators
Ben Orsburn and Ben Neely co-host a podcast series in a “fireside chat” format with prestigious proteomics researchers. The guests are great, the hosts are questionable.

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.

This makes me wonder about the premiums we pay on other Sigma products.

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…

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.

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.

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.
