We wrapped up #THEProteomicsShow Alt Proteomics season with Tim Cleland @paleoproteomicist.bsky.social talking paleoproteomics with me and Ben @proteomicsnews.bsky.social. Won't lie, this season was a blast talking about less typical "proteomics". Find it wherever you find fine podcasts or here.

This super fun proteomics article from @davidteschner.bsky.social et al. came out last spring in JPR, but just found the repo thanks to @magnuspalmblad.bsky.social. Definitely need to poke around a bit more in this.

Really not science: so I adored prairie home companion but had never seen anything like it live. Until right now.

Not science: this college football season has been a wild ride, from coaches leaving to rivalry games this weekend to how conference championships shaped up. Toss in some Kiffin and it’s insane, and we aren’t even at CFP yet. Great time for [some] fans and all neutrals. Of course, GO DAWGS!!!

Since I didn't get anything back yesterday, I'll ask again:

Is there an existing terminology to refer to the two proximal flanking IDRs associated with a named structured domain?

Core: yeah that RIN value really is too low for us to get anything meaningful.

In case you missed the live #THEProteomicsShow with me and Ben Orsburn @proteomicsnews.bsky.social, it was pretty fun. HUGE thanks to the organizers of #HUPO2025 for inviting us, and for Ken Weke (Univ. of Victoria) for being our guest. Definitely check it out wherever you get podcasts, or here:
The Proteomics Show • A podcast on Spotify for Creators
Ben Orsburn and Ben Neely co-host a podcast series in a “fireside chat” format with prestigious proteomics researchers. The guests are great, the hosts are questionable.

Not science: after months of not really reading (aka stress), I am late to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and loving it. Squid Games + Hunger Games + Hitchhiker's Guide + DnD + who knows what else = this LitRPG masterpiece, and I can't put it down (read book 1 on trip). Lotsa stars/thumbs from me.

Good news: only 370 emails made it through to my inbox. That is still alot of emails.

Bad news: if it is important, I hope they write me again, cause I am not going through 370 emails anytime soon, if at all.

Are you going to the International Human Proteomics Organization World Congress? Are you traveling with your (electric?) guitar? Do you have a few free minutes on Monday early afternoon? I have a great idea! Please reach out. Bonus points if you tune down to drop C.

I listened to something the other day that described 4 attributes of a dream job (paraphrased):
1) autonomy
2) creativity
3) colleagues
4) impact

Part of this is also your ability to identify these traits in your job. Ex. A person selling food is impacting the world by feeding others.
