@asms.org has sent out ballots for the BOD election. There is a strong slate of candidates this year. I know from other organizations only 20-25% of the membership vote in society elections so make your voice heard & vote. It took me 15 seconds to vote. I’m asking for your vote as VP for Programs.

Anybody ever had success by going on the offensive after getting disrespectful and denigrating reviews for a paper? And this was the third round of reviews. I’m guessing the reviewer hasn’t liked that the editor is keeping the paper alive. The other reviewers have signed off.

Just checking. This special issue of software issue is dedicated to Margaret Dayhoff on her 100th birthday. She was a bioinformatics pioneer. There is a great "perspective" written by her son-in-law on his recollections of Margaret.

I'm all for Canada joining the USA. Let's do the math: if each province is a state so that's 10 provinces times 2 Senators each so that's 20 new senators. If Canada is just one state with a population of 40.1 million that would be more representatives than CA. Bring on the healthcare, baby!

Did you know @us-hupo.bsky.social has awesome short courses before #USHUPO2025? Also, did you know you can register separately for them (but come for the full conference too)?! These are some of the best teachers I know talking about some of the coolest #proteomics topics out there. Get registered!

Is basic science undervalued? David Glanzman (UCLA) talks about the decline of 'middle class' labs and that "there is no empirical evidence that the translational approach accomplishes this [cures] any better than the traditional one. Claims to the contrary at this point are mere propaganda."

I’m looking to blue sky to solve this. I started seeing metal strips on dog walks. I’ve now found them all over the USA & even saw one in Paris. In keeping with the times (during the pandemic) I dubbed them Q-drops with secret instructions and information digitally encoded on the surface. Source?
