I feel like I talk about data quality ad nauseam. Every week I see new examples of datasets that are going to be difficult for anyone to use because they were managed/organized poorly. So I am going to keep talking about it because I am hopeful that awareness can change practices. 🤞

Sunday morning coffee by the fire…it’s too damn cold to go outside (for those wondering, it’s 21°)

Photos of galaxies; you always think: How many civilisations am I looking at?

All of these data management practices are beneficial, but if you don't document your data management decisions, and provide future users with background information on the who, what, where, when, why, as well as how to use your data, then your data is ultimately not useful.

If you can articulate a specific result, do not finish your abstract stating that you gained "insights". Describe the insights. Your colleagues are much more likely to read a paper whose abstract points to a concrete, specific result.

This is a good and important read. For the UK and Europe as well as the US.

Been reflecting on how science projects play out in practice recently. I like this graphic. Good reminder that everyone goes through difficult bits on the journey.

Today’s most transformative medicines exist because of fundamental discoveries that were made without regard to practical outcome. Their relevance to therapeutics only appeared decades later. This article provides some compelling examples. 🔽

I’ve been trying out the new DIA-NN package from @vadim-demichev.bsky.social for #proteomics. The new .parquet format is nice to work with. There’s a viewer for Windows: github.com/mukunku/Parq..., allows visual check and can save subsets to .csv or .xls.

This is so cool. DIA-NN is my main work horse process for SWATH data. Will be re-processing my current datasets today to see if new version increases coverage.

Have always loved simulated data for understanding stats phenomena.

Asked what she did at school today the smallest one said "played at being an airplane". In that moment, with my whole body and soul, I wished to play at being an airplane too.

Postdoctoral research associate position available in my lab #proteomics as part of a great collaboration with Cathy Merry defining formation and function of #GAGs #proteomics my.corehr.com/pls/ulivrecr...

I just love diagrams of engines. All the arrows, and labels and cut through diagrams.

Very much this.

This. Always.

Oohh. Watching a new lab space install is like slowly opening a present. Hope moving in goes well.

Is this actually a universal experience in 2025?
