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.

Many of you are likely unaware but small business grants are currently not a thing because Congress is a mess.

#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.

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.

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.
