Everyone who is happily reporting crazy ID numbers on Astrals, please read the @mjmaccoss paper carefully. It is very good. The 10% false (or at least non-quantitative) precursor IDs translates to even higher false protein level FDR. Let’s not go back to the proteomics circa 2001

Sometimes I miss Swiss trains…🤷🏻‍♂️

Good morning Leuven. Day 2 at #THPT23 🙌🏻🧬🧫

Quote of the day: „The energy which comes from the sun is free energy. It’s useful. Plants can use it to grow and we can use it to power lawnmowers to cut down the plants, which is OK because physics isn’t concerned with the meaning of life....“ 🤷‍♂️ - Sabine Hossenfelder

Beautiful (but freezing cold) morning at the VIB campus in Ghent.☀️ 🥶 VIB Medical Biotechnology

"De koffiemachine is kapot!"☕️🚫 Not the first thing scientists want to hear in the morning. Does our institute have an emergency plan for such a severe incidence?🙃 Asking for a friend...

That's cool! Ever had problems keeping your plants at home happy? Perhaps get yourself one of these bad boys!😄🤖 Microsurgery Assistance Robot Stitching a Corn Kernel | Sony Group youtu.be/bgRAkBNFMHk?si… via YouTube

A great honor for our former Chairman Ruedi Aebersold, the D-BIOL joins in the congratulations!

I'm incredibly proud that we reached this milestone of presenting an integrated scRNAseq and scp-MS interrogation of the primary human blood system. It was only through team effort, extensive method developments and relentless perseverance, that we managed to accomplish this work

You know you are on the right track if you look into how to conjugate verbs in Dutch and the first verb that appears on the list is 'fietsen'. In French it used to be 'avoir' and 'être'...😅

Retirement of another legend! Thanks for all the anazing illustrations throughout the years (which made their way into my biology courses back in the days…)!🧫🧬🔬💪🏻

Not bad for some boring work of a bunch of nerds 🤓 😂 proteomicsnews.blogspot.com/2025/01/boring…

Yes, making coffee can look like an experiment (and it sometimes is)!☕️👨‍🔬
