Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

I'm glad to see more papers that replicate findings that we published earlier this year, but I find it kind of strange that it's almost exactly the same experiments and figures. I'm surprised they avoided citing our manuscript considering it is even in the same journal. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Impact of Sample Preparation Strategies on the Quantitative Accuracy of Low-Abundance Serum Proteins in Shotgun Proteomics
Serum proteomics plays a crucial role in biomarker discovery and disease research, yet the selection of an optimal sample preparation method remains challenging. Evaluating the accuracy of protein qua...

Come check out my Wednesday poster at #ASMS2025 in Baltimore in a couple of weeks for all the information you could want about plasma proteomics methods! My fellow lab member Katie will also be presenting data from a project I am leading on plasma multi-omics of Long COVID. See you there!

New publication by Serrano et al. describes deep analysis of the human proteome in less than 1 hour! This paper describes the process and how it takes advantage of the new Orbitrap Astral mass spec high acquisition speeds. www.mcponline.org/article/S153...

The One Hour Human Proteome
In BriefWe present deep analysis of the human proteome in less than 1 h. The Orbitrap Astral mass spectrometer, alongside advances in sample preparation, method development, and data processing, is ushering in a new era of proteomics where a harmony of throughput, depth, and sensitivity are enable studies of unprecedented impact. We contextualize these results within the landscape of human proteomics. Comparisons with previous instrumentation in interrogating gene knockouts demonstrate the potential of proteomics to elevate biological investigation in years to come.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

Has anyone used PCA as a way to compensate for sample effects in proteomics data? For example if large groups of proteins are changing in expression across different sample groups but probably not due to biology. Can you incorporate that principal component into a linear model to remove its effect?

I'm willing to bet almost every research paper from at least the past 6 months with 5+ authors has been aided by AI. Does something like using Chat-GPT to aid in R scripting necessitate an acknowledgement? What about using NotebookLM for bullet points of an introduction? What is acceptable right now
