Healey: Massachusetts insurers have to cover the cost of all vaccines approved by the state, no matter what the brainworm in chief says. This includes MassHealth and GIC.

Wasn't all my expertise but leaving plant biology behind after ~10 years was pretty scary. After 3.5 years I still miss the field. But I don't regret my decision.

Wow, congratulations!

Check out the Broad Institute's press release for a great summary of key highlights: www.broadinstitute.org/news/study-f...

We uncover:
🔹 Genomic fragmentation as a prognostic hallmark
🔹 Distinct immune and carcinogen-driven tumor subtypes
🔹 ALK fusion driven phosphosignaling events
🔹 “Late-like” features in early-stage disease
🔹 A subtype-specific therapeutic vulnerability atlas

Proud to share our collaborative effort between the Taiwan Cancer Moonshot Program and the NCI’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), delivering an integrative proteogenomic atlas of lung adenocarcinoma.

Movie you've watched more than 6x using a gif (no Disney, Star Wars, LOTR, or Star Trek).

This has been happening in the greater Boston area for weeks now. Absolutely sickening.

A PhD position (initially 3 years) is available in our laboratory in the Center for Plant Molecular Biology (ZMBP), at the University of Tübingen (Germany). The position is available with an intended start date starting January 2026. Interested applicants should submit a single PDF comprising a motivation letter describing your research interests, an up-to-date CV, and the names and contact information for 2 references to timing.lab@zmbp.uni-tuebingen.de ideally before July 21st.

Big congrats!!!

83 here in Boston... Too hot!!!

Only applies to R 4.0-4.3 AFAIK (unless this is a newer vulnerability?) Upgrading to 4.4+ seems the easiest fix.

There are many things I miss about NC but this is not one of them. Looking at the image made my eyes itchy.

HEY PROTEOMICS PEOPLE! Can you comment here where you learned to do proteomics? I started putting up a survey but based on just the 64 people on our podcast there are too many options for a multiple choice survey effectively. Thank you!

It was a postdoc in the Plant Pathology, Entomology, & Microbiology department

@justinwwalley.bsky.social introduced me to proteomics and honestly changed my life forever!
