Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

Glyco-friends - we are at about 100 people in the starter pack I am looking after, and I think for a field as broad as ours it is fitting if we can get to 150 and start a volume 2. So spread the word!

This one is for the #glycotime community: has anyone tried to cleave Lewis X/CD15 from the surface a live mammalian cells using a recombinant fucosidase? I found single paper from 2007 but curious if anyone else has a recent protocol to share 😬

For those of you that prefer feeds over following, I've figured out how to convert starter packs into lists, so you can get your glyco fix as a feed. If you're on the starter pack, you're on the list, and anyone new on the starter pack will get added to the feed!
