How much money does it take in addition to those credits to get a hot cup of coffee?

Still a better chance of a useful review than mdpi

I am always baffled by reviewers (not editors) who feel the need to defend the exacting minutia of giant digital-only publishers. Get a life! Or just admit you don't have any interesting insight!

Maybe I have to read the paper to understand why the only data point outside the bounds of error of every other data point is Day 5

Also, credit to Jane Gale and David Sparkman who (along with others) pushed for this. David was the ASMS board member who negotiated the original deal with Wiley that got us access through 2010, back when Alan Marshall was president

Absolutely, and membership is still cheap. People could easily make an argument for their employer paying their dues and saving money. Back when I was a contractor I got a society membership benefit, so I paid ASMS dues myself (and had my employer pay the much-more-expensive ACS dues)

For IJMS:
go to journal page and click "sign in" on the upper right
don't try to select your organization; put in the same email as your ASMS login and submit
on the next screen sign in with that email
the signed-in screen will show that you have access through ASMS on the upper right

Note that you need to login to you ASMS account and go through the linked page for the Wiley journals, you can't just navigate to the journal homepage. You *can* navigate directly for IJMS because it will remember your profile (different publisher)

Interesting, they doubled-up with their AC pub from last month pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

My work laptop and desktop are both over 8 years old because they switched to a one-computer policy, so if I want to replace one I'll only be allowed to have one. And they're good enough for office work

I had less than 100 because I told certain people in advance to go to my Gmail and also I'm not that important

Oh not at all, it was not insensitive. I am reminded of the Lewis Grizzard book, "Call Your Mama, I Wish I Could Call Mine"

Wish I still had my dad to be the drill operator; savor it

IRMPD made nice clean b/y ion series, UVPD was inefficient but fast and made a zillion tiny abundance ions. Then the Velos and Orbitrap made that actually a good thing and the perspective changed. IRMPD was left for supplemental ion activation and action spectroscopy. Technology marches on.

But seriously, IRMPD was in FTICR & ion traps for decades. There were 15 years of trying to make it efficient in a QIT. The Brodbelt lab attached chromophores to analytes; Stephenson had a multi-reflection system; Payne heated the whole trap; I focused the laser. UVPD sidestepped the issue

I think a few generations of Brodbelt lab alumni can attest that no one wants to hear me go on about this any more

Buddy, IRMPD was the *old* UVPD too. Just remember to focus your laser if you want to go fast pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1016/...

Hope my Orbitrap Elites, declared officially obsolete at the end of the year, live forever. They've been such stable performers

Remember, the more academic you are, the less likely you are in the most profitable target market
