The number of people using expensive, black-box software for proteomics is bewildering.
so.....short answer is follow up any search guess w/ legit targeted proteomics. was my thinking. but i'm just trying to see what true believers would say.

This is all completely hypothetical. According to Chat-GPT, it is rare to find a bacterial protein in plasma outside of a distinct cause (gut performation). But for the sake of argument it offered up flagellin from e. coli. So, let's say I had a couple peptide Ids from that.

I've seen a spike in major ampullate spidroins (MaSp1 and MaSp2) from a "certain lab in pittsburgh".

No one has stepped up to be our cult leader. I’d follow you anywhere. Interested?

So. I want to hear about everyone’s alternate life dream. When you finally get disenfranchised, what would you do if you could do what you want?

I’m thinking we should all form a colony of off-grid proteomics ex-pats (read: formerly employed) where we can all live out our dreams. We can call it Animal Farm.

Well. You know my dream....

I don't know anything about the monetary side of this.
1. I do love to see more of my old #TeamMassSpec friends here
2. But, the #TeamMassSpec conversation is a pale shadow of its former self :(

Maybe you could work there and develop a new biometric test that will make it even harder and take longer to get through security? Honestly, it's getting to the point that it is not worth the effort for me to buy a 100 pounds of canned tuna to save 12cent.

IDK. I'm confidant that I am wrong most of the time and I don't attend CS conferences. This may be a widespread problem.
