It's the end of the road for BBC Science in Action. But science itself is facing growing roadblocks. For this terminal edition of SinA I'm joined by @naomioreskes.bsky.social @drdebhoury.bsky.social @michaelemann.bsky.social & @angierasmussen.bsky.social for where now?

A personal message from 2022 chemistry laureate Carolyn Bertozzi to all young researchers on why to aspire to a career in science: ”I would want to share with them how a life in science is incredibly rewarding. It is rewarding because it is creative. You are discovering knowledge and gifting that to humanity for all of posterity. Once you learn something no one can take that away. It is not an object. It is an intellectual currency that will be shared throughout the generations. And you created that. It has a permanence that ironically a physical object doesn’t have. You can paint a painting, but eventually it will fade. But knowledge doesn’t fade. Knowledge stays with us forever and it becomes the foundation for the next generations.”
A motivating quote from @carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social:

Atul Butte died yesterday.
The world lost a giant.
A big bear of a man.
With a huge smile.
With love for everyone.
With energy that could power a room.
I loved everything about Atul.
I loved how he was always happy.
I loved how excited he was about science and helping people.

Error control in proteomics mass spectrometry analysis is hard. We came up with a way to evaluate error control. Upshot: for old-school DDA data, not so bad. For DIA data, no existing tool successfully controls the false discovery rate!

At this year's #EuPA2025 in St-Malo there will be a special one-day parallel session for people using proteomics in industry.
Early bird is March 14 and abstract submission deadline is March 28!

It is far easier to rattle of a list of things wrong with the current system than to replace it with something better. I'm old enough to have sat in a room > 20 years ago, listening to @mbeisen.bsky.social explaining, after his scientific seminar, how open access was THE thing that was going to 1/n
