This is a really fun story, and natural extension of the MIPI (metabolome informed protein imaging) pipelines Marija and Kristin started!

After a VERY long time, it got published: rdcu.be/d8KyK.

My deep thanks to Sonja, Matthias and the other authors for analysing my own cancer. Now to convince my clinicians to use it for treating me. The battle is far from over.

1. A thread about the value of doing "slow science": When I was in grad school I heard this (likely apocryphal) story about one of my favourite scientists: Barbara McClintock.

Let me give a concrete example of the importance of applications with high risk-high reward as well as the role of NIH staff in taking risks.

Decades ago, a physical chemist proposed ideas about doing mass spectrometry on proteins (when this was deemed probably impossible).

DIA-NN 2.0 is released! We consider it the biggest step forward in the history of DIA-NN. On modern LC-MS almost all identifications are now peptidoform-confident, with major improvements e.g. for phospho. Some other cool things too: github.com/vdemichev/Di...

We built a rust library (rustyms) and the Annotator GUI to analyze any complex bottom-up or top-down peptidoform with any fragmentation based on ProForma 2.0.
Get it on github and read more in the preprint:

Prioritized MS increases proteomic data completeness.

The increase is largest for the most challenging proteins.

When using TMT, data completeness reaches 93% for all proteins across multiple sets.

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

Who is messing with your favorite protein Filamin C in stressed muscle cells? 🧩🔬 We tackled this riddle in our latest paper in Scientific Reports. A huge shoutout to former lab mate Anja and Thomas from the @mkoehn.bsky.social lab - this was a true team effort! 👏🎉! A short thread: 🧵(1/5)
