I see @lancetmicrobe.bsky.social from the lancet group published a study yesterday under pilot study ethics. This is great.

What is concerning is that a competing study was rejected a month ago from @ebiomedicine.bsky.social, AFTER PASSING PEER REV, as pilot study ethics insufficient. What changed?

Happy to share an updated workflow for the analysis of subcellular proteomics derived from protein correlation profiling MS data!

Super fun to write up everything I’ve learnt working with this type of data. We hope it’ll be helpful for the wider community.⭐️
