great talk today!

Looking for a great talk to finish up your #ASMS2025 experience? Check out @mehrnousht.bsky.social's presentation today at 4:10 in room 314 on "Complimentary Distribution of Glyconjugates in Glioblastoma Revealed by Multi-Enzyme MALDI Mass Spectrometry Imaging"

Interested in glycosaminoglycans but dont know where to start? Come visit me today at Poster #218 at #ASMS2025 and let's chat!

So much better than the normal "2.5 feet across to the opposite poster"! Not needing to do a side step-wiggle-boogie down the isles was a treat

That awkward moment where you go to war in the #asms2025 #shimadzu hospitality booth to get a plushie for your toddler....only to get...

Well put and definitely worth the read. #glycotime #sfg

This has been incredibly useful for Bluesky, especially those long-form posts where the "good stuff" is halfway down a 30-part post.

-A $1 million NIH grant brings in an additional $300-500 to your state for jobs
-NIH funded research brought us weight loss drugs that now most of the Midwest and South (Trump states) get to use
-NIH funded research bring us closer to ending Alzheimer’s, which affects rural folks (2/)

Trump hits NIH with ‘devastating’ freezes on meetings, travel, communications, and hiring Researchers facing “a lot of uncertainty, fear, and panic”

Hold on to your pipettors folks, it's gonna be a bumpy few months. #nih #fundinghell

When I think of Jimmy Carter, the word "vocation" immediately comes to mind.

I feel like the last few decades of education have been focused on pushing kids to commoditize themselves. Get degree X + take degree Y = profit. Then we get confused when they're totally burnt out at 25.

Happy Holidays from all of us at The Complex Carbohydrate Research Center. Have a restful holiday and we're looking forward to an exciting 2025!

Strange takeaway from year 4 (oh man, 5?) of doing virtual #glycotime instruction post Covid.

I LOVE how much participation we still see from what is essentially a "screen only" format. Having an audience of a hundred people and still getting this many questions is amazing.

FWIW I'm totally in agreement with the theory to keep taking risk - there's too many folks out there who've never gotten off the ground for fear of failure. But for many the luxury of taking a risk is often just that - a luxury.

Day one of 'Fundamentals of Polysaccharides' is up and running! Don't fret if you missed the signup - this will be going through Thursday and you can sign up for free here: lnkd.in/e9dGb_QJ

my worry is that, for a lot of undergrads, grad students, and baby scientists, "luck" = "don't bother, it's all a scam". You have to keep trying(applications, grants, networking, finding mentors) if you want to eventually win. The slow accumulation of little "r" risks matter in the long run.

Blog – The Role of Luck in Academic Success Dr Yvonne Couch explores the role of luck in academia, highlighting that success is often a blend of skill, preparation & serendipity. A must-read for academics

I wrote this a while ago to cover this exact thing and to make junior colleagues feel better when things don't work out...

Every time I read something like this I'm immediately reminded of the Kodak "Shirley" cards.

i think there's also good argument here to be made for good "core lab" setups. Just got back from a conference where I chatted with folks from the Boston area who were amazed at impact of working from Athens, GA. Whelp yeah - our job for the past few decades is to collaborate with y'all.

half of trump supporters voted for him because they wanted exactly what he said he'd do. The other half voted for him thinking there's NO WAY he'd do the things he said he'd do.

Someone's going to be unpleasantly surprised.

i've also read he wants to remove caps on insulin and that people should just "lose weight"....which GLP-1s would probably help in doing.

It's the circle of bullshit, yo.

This drove me nuts. Like, vote for the dismantling of the government because eggs are $2 more? Maybe keep democracy and buy a GD chicken?
