“This administration has mis-used the term ‘DEI’ to eliminate policies and practices that were intended to broaden the diversity of human study participants,…support studies focused on health disparities,…and foster the inclusion of people with diverse backgrounds…in the scientific workforce.”
"Go climb the highest mountain. I may not get there with you. Go cross the harshest desert. I may not get there with you. Go swim the deepest ocean. I may not get there with you. But I will join you when I can." I wrote this song in honor of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Gone 58 years today.
Congratulations to John R. Yates III, Ruedi Aebersold and Matthias Mann, recipients of the 2026 Canada Gairdner International Award.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her.
Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day
It’s insane that America has never put Louie Armstrong or Duke Ellington or Ella Fitzgerald on currency but it’s about to mint a Donald Trump coin.

Another shipwreck at the bottom of the sea of blood proteomics.
Go get em Joe!
This is great news, and I hope all vendors continue to support THE vendor neutral option for MS data. Regardless, it was a shame that Skyline went without funding for a year from SCIEX
My dream is that Skyline is funded by all vendors continuously. All of #teammassspec benefits from the arrangement
New preprint! We did a systematic comparison of proteases, digestion conditions, and labeling methods for histone PTM analysis by MS-based proteomics in the Yates lab at @scripps.edu.
TL;DR: you can get great results in ~3 h of sample prep. 🧵
We need to get more mass spec proteomics folks on here and increase the size of our cluster!

We'll pick it up from here.
Spring Training and the World Baseball Classic are right around the corner!
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
Working late at night alone in the lab as a grad student. Wrenches in both hands and touched a bare heater wire in a high voltage instrument. I was across the room before I knew what happened.

a few thoughts youtu.be/lERS4kJIQR8
Thanks for highlighting this diversity of analyzable tau mods. Our technology is wonderful now, but this advance kicks the problem back to us. How do we think about the relationship of diverse modifications to disease? The real challenge is to formulate new questions and testable hypotheses.
I’m proud to be leading this fight. Thank you to @maddowblog.bsky.social for highlighting this critical issue.
Our latest article is out in Cell !
Together with the Zernicka-Goetz lab, we show that fertilization triggers proteomic asymmetry in mammalian zygotes, giving rise to alpha vs. beta 2-cell blastomeres with distinct developmental potential.

I’ve been in Toronto at the #astmh meeting these past few days and last night some very good news was presented here: A new malaria drug has proven efficacious in a large trial and could soon be approved.🧪

Maine has voted in a landslide to reject a Republican-supported ballot initiative that would have restricted voting access heading into the critical 2026 midterms

Vanderbilt response to the Trump ‘compact’ is too clever by half. Dodging the immoral dominance play and pretending it’s a reasoned conversation. Vandy wishes to play ball as an elite institution on a level with MIT, Penn and UVA. Struck out looking.
