If FIFA was competent they would have scheduled the POR-SPA game really late at night and the MEX-ENG game earlier instead. 😃

The referree in the Paraguay-France game is a disgrace.

If you need another reason to use proteomics to quantify proteins rather than Western Blot:

The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes: 🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting 🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)

Bloody hell, Wu Yize is good. Such a snooker talent.

I really hate journals asking me to review their paper on a Sunday evening. Get a life.

Really enjoyed giving a BSPR lecture today at UCD. But the beer prices in Dublin are obscene.

Trucks loaded up for the lab move. Next stop, Manchester! Quite amazing how much stuff is in a lab.

I am rather worried that this government not only will actively fail UK universities but also screw over one of the gems of UK economy - science and life science, particularly. Will UKRI's funding buckets shore up UK research? share.google/B92vQ7E6nEOK...

Will UKRI’s funding buckets shore up UK research’s sandcastle?

Academics’ concerns are mounting as news drips out of the research councils about cuts and freezes ahead of a major funding restructuring intended to promote interdisciplinarity and transparency. But ...

How do you deal with missing values and "unique" proteins that were only identified in one condition in proteomics data? Mengchun Li, an amazing PhD student in my lab, developed this great Bayesian approach. Please try it and give feedback! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Empirical-Bayes and Bayesian Hierarchical Modelling for Missingness and Differential Expression in Proteomics

Mass spectrometry-based label-free proteomics data often suffer from missing values, especially for low-abundance proteins or when a protein is completely absent in one condition. This makes it challe...

In life sciences there are two types of people in my experience: those that embrace and exploit omics and other large scale data technologies and those who work on one problem at the time. I had many collaborators from either side. 1/2

The financial crisis of the HE sector in the UK now leads to increased numbers of grant and fellowship applications, pushing down the success rates. Since also overheads increased, in some cases we will see success rates halved. There is a BBSRC fellowship which will have a success rate of 5%.

@drandyfrey.bsky.social having quite some interest at his poster at #EUPA2025 We have performed a controlled quantitative experiment with a three proteome mix and come up with recommendations using DIA. Biorxiv paper out soon (hopefully!)
