@riley-research.bsky.social had a great time catching up with local research at the Cascadia Proteomics Symposium last week. The lineup featured talks from Katie Kothlow and Haley Schramm, and a lightning talk/poster from @emmajays.bsky.social

Congrats to Emmajay for her 2nd-place poster award too!

This was so much fun! It was great to present and meet other incredible undergraduates at #ASMS2025. A huge thank you to @riley-research.bsky.social group members for their unwavering encouragement and even bringing me food and water during the presentations!
The undergraduate poster session at #ASMS2025 is the place to be tonight.

@riley-research.bsky.social is excited for #ASMS2025 in Baltimore!

We made sure to capitalize on some of the classics, like a crab dinner at LP Steamers and an Orioles game, before the conference festivities kicked off.

Come hear what we have been up to!

Another beautiful example of NIH-SPONSORED bedside to bench and back to bedside work from an outstanding clinician scientist. This work is producing some of the most compelling responses to treatment in what is arguably the worst pediatric brain tumor.

We are lucky to have multiple people to celebrate in @riley-research.bsky.social recently. This time graduate student Kayla Markuson won 2 (!) @uwchemistry.bsky.social awards:

- Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award
- Excellence in Graduate Leadership and Service Award

Way to go Kayla!

I'm so grateful for the extraordinary mentorship from everyone in @riley-research.bsky.social on a daily basis, and leadership from @nmriley.bsky.social and my postdoc mentor @timveth.bsky.social in creating a highly intentional research experience for undergraduates in the group. Congrats to all!
Another proud PI post today 🎉 , this time celebrating one of our stellar undergraduate researchers, @vishnutejus.bsky.social.

Vishnu received the @asms.org Undergraduate Student Award to present his work on an updated spectral annotator at the annual conference in June.

Congrats Vishnu!

GlyCounter (and pre-print) from the @riley-research.bsky.social is now out to help inspect raw MS data for glycan-specific ions.

Congrats to first author Katie Kothlow for leading this and to all RRG members who helped test GlyCounter's utility for numerous datasets! This was a great team effort.

The Glycobiology Gordon Research Seminar this weekend was a great kickoff to the Glyco GRC this week. ~70 grad students and postdocs shared awesome #glycotime data and built community.

Much appreciation is owed to my co-chair @fionachembot.bsky.social who played a big role in its success.
