Holy fuck, am I reading this correctly? Are they going to do a single-blind RCT (i.e., some babies will get placebo instead of HepB vax and their parents won't know)??? This seems insanely unethical, like Tuskegee levels of unethical public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-23245.pdf

Publishing research data is becoming common. Research data is an important research output.
But finding outputs other than traditional articles is still not easy.
We're looking into how we, as a university library, can find different outputs created by KTH researchers.

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.

This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.

Open-Source and FAIR in relation to Proteomics to speed up research and innovation, from KTH (@lukaskall.bsky.social) and others

pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Open-Source and FAIR Research Software for Proteomics
Scientific discovery relies on innovative software as much as experimental methods, especially in proteomics, where computational tools are essential for mass spectrometer setup, data analysis, and interpretation. Since the introduction of SEQUEST, proteomics software has grown into a complex ecosystem of algorithms, predictive models, and workflows, but the field faces challenges, including the increasing complexity of mass spectrometry data, limited reproducibility due to proprietary software, and difficulties integrating with other omics disciplines. Closed-source, platform-specific tools exacerbate these issues by restricting innovation, creating inefficiencies, and imposing hidden costs on the community. Open-source software (OSS), aligned with the FAIR Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), offers a solution by promoting transparency, reproducibility, and community-driven development, which fosters collaboration and continuous improvement. In this manuscript, we explore the role of OSS in computational proteomics, its alignment with FAIR principles, and its potential to address challenges related to licensing, distribution, and standardization. Drawing on lessons from other omics fields, we present a vision for a future where OSS and FAIR principles underpin a transparent, accessible, and innovative proteomics community.
