Bush Lab @bushlab.bsky.social · 21/07/2026New in JASMS: we introduce CLOCK, a framework that independently tunes how hard and how long you activate gas-phase protein ions, from sub-millisecond to seconds. CLOCK maps instrument settings onto effective temperatures ranging from ~350–600 K. doi.org/10.1021/jasm... 020
Bush Lab @bushlab.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Informative perspective on the interface between work, perseverance, learning, and AI in higher education. And the lack of leadership by university administrators. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...chronicle.comThe Ivy League Cheating Scandal No One Wants to Talk AboutRoberto Serrano believes half his class used AI to cheat. He says administrators at Brown don’t seem to care. 000
Bush Lab @bushlab.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Over the holidays, we relocated our mass spectrometers to Bagley Hall in preparation for the construction of a new Chemical Sciences Building. Many thanks to graduate students Addison Roush and Chris Weir for all of their contributions over the last two weeks! 0100

Bush Lab @bushlab.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Does anyone in the USA have a crate for a Waters Cyclic or Waters Synapt XS that they are willing to give or lend to me? 000
Bush Lab @bushlab.bsky.social · 10/10/2025Concur! Parquet is great. We've been impressed using Parquet for other projects, including integrating results from many ion mobility experiments, where we need to track and index lots of metadata, and logging ion trajectory simulations, where we need compression, read speed, and durability. 041
Bush Lab @bushlab.bsky.social · 27/09/2025Excited to share a new paper! SLIMPHONY uses eight independently controlled traveling-wave regions that work in concert to select and activate ions in multiple regions, to vary the number of dimensions of ion mobility, and to control the length of ion mobility separations. doi.org/10.1021/jasm... 151
Bush Lab @bushlab.bsky.social · 05/08/2025Great perspective on starting and sustaining a career at a primarily undergraduate institution (PUI) with research using instrumentation. Thanks for writing this, @jaygforsythe.bsky.social 110
