Obvs JPR ... loving the Software Tools and Resources issue. I think I counted 5-6 web applications for visualization of omics data. Glad to see people interested in finding new ways to look at their results.

Anybody ever had success by going on the offensive after getting disrespectful and denigrating reviews for a paper? And this was the third round of reviews. I’m guessing the reviewer hasn’t liked that the editor is keeping the paper alive. The other reviewers have signed off.

Just checking. This special issue of software issue is dedicated to Margaret Dayhoff on her 100th birthday. She was a bioinformatics pioneer. There is a great "perspective" written by her son-in-law on his recollections of Margaret.

Lincoln created the National Academy of Sciences to advise the government & signed the Morrill land grant act -arguably one of the greatest pieces of USA legislation. It created a higher education system everyone could access & subsequently an educated population to drive the US economy.

#USHUPO2025. Tick tock. If you’re in early on Sunday there is a future of proteomics workshop 2-4pm. We have a great panel. Will anyone predict the proteoform jetpack is right around the corner!?! Come see.

I'm obsessed with the show and I'm reading the books. Clearly you need pumps to keep the ground water at bay and that is clear from the show. I'm thinking about this organizationally and I think the silo idea is probably the best way to create a living and working space for that many people.

If building a fall out shelter for a large number of people (say 10K) is a silo the most efficient structure?

I'm all for Canada joining the USA. Let's do the math: if each province is a state so that's 10 provinces times 2 Senators each so that's 20 new senators. If Canada is just one state with a population of 40.1 million that would be more representatives than CA. Bring on the healthcare, baby!

That’s where the real money is! And you don’t have to spend 100’s of millions on clinical trials. You simply have to be creative with adjectives. Throw in the words serum and peptides a lot in the ad copy.
