@asms.org has sent out ballots for the BOD election. There is a strong slate of candidates this year. I know from other organizations only 20-25% of the membership vote in society elections so make your voice heard & vote. It took me 15 seconds to vote. I’m asking for your vote as VP for Programs.

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.
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.

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!

The next season of #THEProteomicsShow has started! For The Philly Express, @proteomicsnews.bsky.social and I will feature speakers at #USHUPO2024 (weekly, hopefully). This first episode was the agenda, cause it was a bad idea the last two times. Enjoy!
