@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.

IDK Brett. ACS is pushing hard to get read and publish agreements in place with the new NIH policy of no embargo’s. Hopefully this is resolved.

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.

Lincoln created the National Academy of Sciences to advise the government & signed the Morrill land grant act -arguably one of the greatest pieces of USA legislation. It created a higher education system everyone could access & subsequently an educated population to drive the US economy.

I'm obsessed with the show and I'm reading the books. Clearly you need pumps to keep the ground water at bay and that is clear from the show. I'm thinking about this organizationally and I think the silo idea is probably the best way to create a living and working space for that many people.

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!

That’s where the real money is! And you don’t have to spend 100’s of millions on clinical trials. You simply have to be creative with adjectives. Throw in the words serum and peptides a lot in the ad copy.

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!

Hey Yasset- how about a thread on controlled access repositories? I had a discussion with Nuno about these at HUPO as we are seeing more human clinical papers come into JPR with data in these repositories. We are adjusting our data transparency policies to accommodate controlled access.

if you are new to blue sky and you're following people I will follow you back if you have something describing your scientific interests. I want to avoid wholesale follow backs as I then get DMs about crypto scams.

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."
