This article published on International Day of Women and Girls in Science highlights that papers authored by women spend longer under peer review. Being aware of this means we can begin to fix it and create an equal system for all 🌟 www.the-scientist.com/women-s-rese... doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Today, on the #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience, we recognize the women in the GlycoNet network whose research is deepening our understanding of glycomics and enabling new approaches across health and biotechnology. #WomenInScience #GlycoNet #Glycoscience #WomenInSTEM #STEM

📢 Join us for the next GlySpace Alliance Webinar! 🗓️ Tuesday, February 17, 2026 | 10 AM ET 🎙️Dr. Lance Wells & Dr. Rene Ranzinger 🗒️For details visit: wiki.glygen.org/GlySpace_All... or take a look at the flyer below! #GlyGen #glycotime #researchwebinar #researchtools

2025 ended with this paper being accepted by Analytical Chemistry! 😁 Please check out our article in its new home and learn how these multinanoparticle protein coronas grant us a deeper insight into the glycoproteome of different biofluids: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Can nanoparticles help us probe the glycoproteome? The new pre-print from @riley-research.bsky.social seeks to answer this question using the Proteograph technology from Seer Inc. Check out this lovely study on glycoproteins NP-enriched from biofluids here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

@riley-research.bsky.social had a great time catching up with local research at the Cascadia Proteomics Symposium last week. The lineup featured talks from Katie Kothlow and Haley Schramm, and a lightning talk/poster from @emmajays.bsky.social Congrats to Emmajay for her 2nd-place poster award too!

Had an amazing time at the Glycobiology Gordon Research Seminar and Conference in Italy! 🇮🇹 As a first-time attendee, I appreciated meeting so many incredible scientists from across the world. We spent the days talking about carbohydrates, and the nights eating them. 🍝 #Glycobiology #Glycotime

GlyCounter (and pre-print) from the @riley-research.bsky.social is now out to help inspect raw MS data for glycan-specific ions. Congrats to first author Katie Kothlow for leading this and to all RRG members who helped test GlyCounter's utility for numerous datasets! This was a great team effort.

Today we celebrate the 100th birthday of Margaret Dayhoff, founder of bioinformatics and creator of the first sequence databases. Her legacy inspires generations of scientists in bioinformatics, proteomics, and computational biology. bit.ly/4hmTdLl #WomenInScience #Bioinformatics #Proteomics

A recent study found that cervical cancer deaths in young women have plummeted since the introduction of the human papillomavirus vaccine.

As Cervical Cancer Deaths Plummet, Experts Credit HPV Vaccine

HPV can cause a variety of cancers, including cervical. New mortality data for women under 25 point to the success of the HPV vaccine.

The erosion of trust in science & scientists — sometimes due to complex social/historical factors but often deliberately perpetrated by charlatans — has tragic, deadly consequences, and, if unchecked, is an existential threat to society.

"The vaccination has stuff we don't trust," said the father of the 6-year-old girl who died from measles at the end of last month. Tom Bartlett visited with a family confronting an unthinkable tragedy:

I am excited to discuss our efforts in @riley-research.bsky.social to help streamline glycoproteomics methods at the @glygen.bsky.social webinar next week!

SFG@sfglycobiology.bsky.social · last yr.

Exciting @glygen.bsky.social webinar coming up! On March 11th, 2025, 10 ET @nmriley.bsky.social will present his research and progress in the development of tools to explore complex glycoproteomics data. Info on the flyer and in the link below ⬇️ 👍 wiki.glygen.org/GlyGen_Webin...

Despite current events, @riley-research.bsky.social enjoyed @us-hupo.bsky.social last week! Connecting w/ colleagues was an antidote for the frustration that occupies a lot of my brain space these days Thanks for the continual motivation to pursue good science and support scientists however we can

My favorite takeaway from #USHUPO2025 so far?! Building a business is not too different from building a lab. Huge thanks to @lindsaykpino.com & @nmriley.bsky.social for hosting a phenomenal workshop on the business of starting a lab!!!

Happy International Day of Women in Science. The National Science Foundation’s list of flagged words includes both “Women” and “Female.”

The final chapter of my PhD thesis is officially published!😄 It's a true reflection of collaborative research and I can't thank my PhD supervisor, Clarissa Melo Czekster, enough. Of course, the figures feature the most amount of pink probably seen in a research journal so please enjoy! rdcu.be/d7owS

The heterogeneity of HeLa cell-lines undermines reproducibility. HeLa cells were obtained without informed consent. ==> Researchers should avoid using HeLa cells unless required by a special justification.

Curious about artificial deamidation? Check out our updated preprint! tinyurl.com/ms6fz3sn Now with PBS as a 6th buffer + new K562 data + N-terminal Q -> pyro-Glu investigations. Take home message: Zwitterionic buffers like HEPES minimize unwanted artifacts! @riley-research.bsky.social

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

Altmetric@altmetric.com · 2y ago

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research. A Place of Joy.

Check out this UW highlight of RRG member @jacobrussell02.bsky.social and his path to graduate school as a first-generation student! Way to go, Jacob! artsci.washington.edu/news/firstge...

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/

I sometimes forget how flexible proteins are. It becomes really apparent when you use NMR states for an animation. That poor cofactor is getting pushed around a lot 😅 #sciart #blender3d #biocatalysis

We updated some conferences of interest on the Useful Links page on our website: www.riley-research.com/useful-links We have yet to really advertise it, but it is a complication of resources we frequent for #TeamMassSpec, #glycotime, conferences, and more. Hopefully others can find it useful too!

🎨 In case anyone need… The NIH BioArt Source is an awesome library of *free* professionally drawn illustrations for scientific presentations or figures. Downloadable in HD. Thank you NIH for this invaluable tool 🙏! Check it out 👇 bioart.niaid.nih.gov

The unofficial FeMS starter pack (until they join us on Bluesky :) anyway. If you're a woman working with a mass spectrometer please ask to be added! All women are welcome! go.bsky.app/PUwu7fr

First post on Bluesky, let’s share some websites offering many free illustrations for scientific figures 🖼️ 🧪 🌍 : scidraw.io bioart.niaid.nih.gov www.phylopic.org More well known but very nice though: www.freepik.com

A few more letters... and we can finally write amino acid sequence with protein structure encoded by amino acid sequence? 🧬🤔😀 @chrisfrank662.bsky.social , Dominik Schiwietz, Lara Fuss, Hendrik Dietz www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Question for my proteomics skywalkers: today I was chatting about enzymes that aren’t trypsin, and I know there’s plenty out there (including this fun paper, h/t @pastelbio.bsky.social), but any great ones that should be on my radar for bottom-up proteomics? pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Postproline Cleaving Enzymes also Show Specificity to Reduced Cysteine

In proteomics, postproline cleaving enzymes (PPCEs), such as Aspergillus niger prolyl endopeptidase (AnPEP) and neprosin, complement proteolytic tools because proline is a stop site for many proteases...
