Did you always want to know more about snot and all the things it can tell you? Well do I have a show for you! This week's #THEProteomicShow me and Ben @proteomicsnews.bsky.social sit down with Jennifer Mulligan to talk snot. Find it wherever you find fine podcasts or anchor.fm/theproteomic...
NEW EPISODE! 🤧As part of the US HUPO sponsored "All the Parts", Ben and Ben sat down to talk with Dr. Jennifer Mulligan, University of Florida and Co-Director, UF Health Smell Disorders Program. Listen Now: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4FUFJibzPSBXaNkKHiSgMQ?si=afyAJWW1Q2-UAGYbJ7LxxQ #USHUPO
Almost forgot, you can find the latest episode of #THEProteomicsShow out today as we continue our biological voyage. This week me and Ben @proteomicsnews.bsky.social talked to Lekha Sleno about tears. No crying it was awesome. Find it wherever you find fine podcast or here anchor.fm/theproteomic...
We're hiring! Two fully funded PhD positions are open in my group at KTH/SciLifeLab, both in the intersection between machine learning, mass spectrometry, and proteomics. One EU MSCA-funded, one DDLS. Details below 👇

We did a plasma proteomics study on dengue disease severity in children with Tineke Cantaert and identified early markers of endothelial and inflammatory activation. Great work by @tshamorkina.bsky.social and Sofia! Thanks to all co-authors @hecklab.bsky.social. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...
Kind of stunned to see this in my inbox, as I had not been aware of Lucas’ passing. Glad to know HUPO will keep his legacy alive.
Our paper out today combines my love of blood proteomics and a seriously awesome group of experts I am humbled to be included alongside. Thanks to @ypriverol.bsky.social and Asier Larrea-Sebal for leading. This is a great modern review with a nod to non-MS data. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Any recommendation for bead beating large pieces of FFPE tissues? Using 10% SDS plus 1.4 mm zirconium beads doesn’t do much.
MS/MS scan range can be an afterthought that doesn't receive attention in method design, but improper settings can affect experimental outcomes. This is especially true in glycoproteomics. A #glycotime thread about a new #JASMS paper on this idea from @riley-research.bsky.social 1/10
Another awesome #USHUPO in the books. @ucdproteomics.bsky.social is already planning the tour of “Better Call Saul” filming locations for next year in Albuquerque.
Were you at #USHUPO2026 and saw Ben @proteomicsnews.bsky.social and Renã Robinson with Natalie Clark @nmclark2.bsky.social for a LIVE recording of #THEProteomicsShow? Well, I wasn't either, but we now we can bathe our ears in this audio. Find it wherever you find podcasts. anchor.fm/theproteomic...
Quick proteomics question: we want to use an exogenous biotin blocking scavenger for a TurboID experiment. We tried Biolock but is very inconsistent in our hands. Does anyone have another suggestion?
If you are in STL for #USHUPO2026 next week, #THEProteomicsShow is gonna be *LIVE* Monday night at 6:30pm. We've done this a few times now and its always a blast. I can't wait to hear Ben @proteomicsnews.bsky.social and Renã Robinson... and a guest picked immediately before! (volunteers needed!)
Another plasma enrichment methodology. I'm not a huge fan of high-throughput approaches that require a dry down and reconstitution step, but this seems like the type of approach that is destined for commercialization.

Question for the #proteomics community 👇 What should proteomics repositories be doing today (use cases, features, research) that we’re currently missing? Would love your input—RT to reach more voices. #opendata #mass-spectrometry #proteomics
Many of you are likely unaware but small business grants are currently not a thing because Congress is a mess. "Active NIH SBIR and STTR awards can continue, however NIH will not issue noncompeting continuation awards for existing projects until the SBIR/STTR program is reauthorized."

#AminoAcidAdvent Day 6: Cysteine (Cys; C) Like Mork & Mindy, these stinky residues love to bond! Jerks like us break these bonds, with chemoproteomics trying to map, probe, and manipulate them. Leftovers stuck to S-S is a fun field but I love them for their antioxidant and metal binding abilities.
