BREAKING NEWS: Canadian Premier Wab Kinew of Manitoba MOCKS Trump by signing a “beautiful” order that officially removes ALL American liquor from Canadian stores in his province. Donald Trump just caused massive economic damage to our country. How sad and embarrassing.

Economists really do not have all the answers and if you need a totalitarian regime to test your theory, it is not a good sign. The complete story was well told.

FIRE SWEENEY

Everyday I awake in shock that a country who fought communism for so long is bowing down so rapidly to thought police.

Transgenic mice are erased as transgender, the Enola Gay airplane is erased for DEI. It is not enough that these people are evil in their intent, they are thoroughly incompetent in their execution.

My dream as a young teenager was to be the next GoGo.

Thanks to #Pittcon for selecting Matterworks’ Pyxis for a Gold Excellence Award

🧵The intersection of the Musk & Putin agendas are coming into focus. Here's what I think is happening. I hope I'm wrong. Key to understand: 1. Trump=POTUS in Name Only (PINO), while Musk runs the US day to day. 2. Musk & Putin put T in office; many of his actions now are repayment of that debt.

More CanLit - do LLM’s enhance or diminish creativity? Fast read, enjoyable, thought provoking.

Fealty to Donald Trump will not spare you from his cruelty. It's strength — not weakness — that curbs his baser instincts. Now is the time for us to be strong.

Today at #USHUPO2025, our SVP of Business Development Mel Hernandez will present a poster titled, "High Throughput Metabolite Quantification in Biological Samples with Pyxis, a Matrix-Agnostic AI/ML Tool."

When you are GenX you were brought up on stories of plain clothes KGB officers showing up and dragging those who simply said what the government did not like away. And here we are. cdapress.com/news/2025/fe...

I admit that post Jan 20 events moved this book, which I bought before Xmas to the top of my top read pile. Wonderfully interesting read - and a reminder that the ability to openly dispute the government - both as a civil servant and a citizen - is worth fighting for.

“If paradise to you is cheap beer and overtime”. These games were a great escape! (Pics from the game vs Finland)

Donald Trump turns Americans into bunch of losers. 😬 Making Canadian Hockey great again. 🇨🇦

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

@tomlau.bsky.social and other #massspec fans - they are having another round of ASMS mock interviews. Being the interviewer for these is a lot of fun and you meet and hear about the research of great young mass spec researchers. I highly recommend doing. www.asms.org/member-cente...

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Ok, fine...

Biopharma companies and CEOs are keeping their heads down at their own peril. They should speak up about what’s happening to the NIH and other science agencies before it’s too late. Silence gives consent. And no one should consent to this.

I stand fully corrected - you can fake mass spec data!

I love a book where failure to calibrate instruments is part of the plot! People play fast and loose with Western blots - please use mass spec. A fast and informative read - and at the end you realize how much science is driven by repetitional hierarchy not research quality.

Continuing on my Women of the 60-70’s theme. Two deeply contrasting lives with equally interesting orbits. What stories Babitz can tell - now I need to read them…

And I just submitted the last ASMS abstract from the small but mighty @matterworks.bsky.social team and our wonderful collaborators - all who possess an early adopter mindset. Looking forward to moving past “preliminary” work and onto full technical descriptions. Also it’s beer o’clock.
