Can nanoparticles help us probe the glycoproteome?
The new pre-print from @riley-research.bsky.social seeks to answer this question using the Proteograph technology from Seer Inc.

@riley-research.bsky.social had a great time catching up with local research at the Cascadia Proteomics Symposium last week. The lineup featured talks from Katie Kothlow and Haley Schramm, and a lightning talk/poster from @emmajays.bsky.social
Congrats to Emmajay for her 2nd-place poster award too!

Had an amazing time at the Glycobiology Gordon Research Seminar and Conference in Italy! 🇮🇹 As a first-time attendee, I appreciated meeting so many incredible scientists from across the world. We spent the days talking about carbohydrates, and the nights eating them. 🍝 #Glycobiology #Glycotime

GlyCounter (and pre-print) from the @riley-research.bsky.social is now out to help inspect raw MS data for glycan-specific ions.
Congrats to first author Katie Kothlow for leading this and to all RRG members who helped test GlyCounter's utility for numerous datasets! This was a great team effort.

A recent study found that cervical cancer deaths in young women have plummeted since the introduction of the human papillomavirus vaccine.
As Cervical Cancer Deaths Plummet, Experts Credit HPV Vaccine
HPV can cause a variety of cancers, including cervical. New mortality data for women under 25 point to the success of the HPV vaccine.

The erosion of trust in science & scientists — sometimes due to complex social/historical factors but often deliberately perpetrated by charlatans — has tragic, deadly consequences, and, if unchecked, is an existential threat to society.
"The vaccination has stuff we don't trust," said the father of the 6-year-old girl who died from measles at the end of last month. Tom Bartlett visited with a family confronting an unthinkable tragedy:

The final chapter of my PhD thesis is officially published!😄 It's a true reflection of collaborative research and I can't thank my PhD supervisor, Clarissa Melo Czekster, enough. Of course, the figures feature the most amount of pink probably seen in a research journal so please enjoy! rdcu.be/d7owS

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

I sometimes forget how flexible proteins are. It becomes really apparent when you use NMR states for an animation. That poor cofactor is getting pushed around a lot 😅
