BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 It started from my frustration with the depressing effect that the current publishing system has on the well-being of myself, my team, and pretty much every scientist I know (maybe you’ve noticed from my stupid jokes… :) I was exhausted of dealing with the huge delays, reviewers that can be abusive, and how arbitrary it all is. Unfortunately, the most important factors are often WHO your reviewers are and who YOU are... It’s clear we need alternatives or at least ways to improve the situation. So, together with a really special and talented team we worked to develop this idea into “qed” a platform where you can get CONSTRUCTIVE feedback on your own work or CRITICALLY assess other people’s papers. It can be a real difference maker if many of you join us (thousands have tried it already, but today we release a NEW and much stronger version ;) Let’s harness qed to put the power back in the scientists’ hands, to do, to read & to publish science on our own terms. I’m dying for you to TRY IT, and it’s very simple - just drop a paper (the link to the website is in the replies👇) - it’s completely secure, private, and free, and you get results fast. Please show your support, SHARE, tell your friends, and let’s be the revolution 🫵!

1/ Ever wondered how lifting weights makes muscles grow? 💪Our latest study reveals that mTORC1 doesn’t always hold the key. Full breakdown + preprint in this thread 👇biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am proud to have contributed to this fantastic work from the Fischer group. Sometimes, discussions with your floor neighbours can lead to something great.

Our paper on discovering a new paradigm in peroxisome biogenesis and PEX39 (1st human peroxisomal biogenesis protein found in > 20 yr) is out in @NatureCellBio! Wonderful, equal collab with Tony Rodrigues, @dwendscheck, Jorge Azevedo, @warscheidlab #ref-CR49" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4155…

Our lab is hiring two Research Assistants. A Computer Scientist and a Biomedical Scientist. Please help us spread the word and apply before Dec. 6th.

It’s time

@tmoecklinghoff I've been there since Elon bought shitter but besides the lack of communication, they didn't really improve the app or the algorithm.

Excited to share our latest study on pSILAC-DIA! 🚀 As I introduced in the #HUPO2024 lunch seminar, together with @biognosys, we present a comprehensive workflow solution integrating multiplex-DIA for protein turnover profiling #Proteomics #TeamMassSpec 👉biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very happy to share our @naturemethods paper reporting protein standards for proteome-wide XL-MS, providing a ground-truth for benchmarking and developing XL-MS software like our new Scout tool. Congrats to @MRuwolt @Milanzord @diogobor and all co-authors! nature.com/articles/s4159…

This is great! @NIAIDNews have launched a collection of public domain illustrations (currently 550 individual icons) bioart.niaid.nih.gov

Many thanks to all the speakers, organisers, and staff for making this educational, smooth and fun. Special thanks to #DGPF for supporting my journey with a travel grant. As well as @Lakshitaaaa_s, @hirak_das13 and @aretaon for some amazing days in Dresden. (2/2)

Back home on the couch from #HUPO2024 with a bag full of memories and new ideas. Meet many incredible people, and I am humbled to be chosen as 1of17 finalist in the ECR poster competition. Many congrats to Sophia, Adele and Tilman, well deserved. (1/2)

Seems like a good time for a list some of my favorite truly #OpenSource #proteomics tools. In no particular order: 1. Comet - The Sequest algorithm for everyone. github.com/uwpr/comet

How good is our understanding of signaling pathways? In this study together w/ @savitski_lab @EMBL, we combine multiple state-of-the-art resources to evaluate signaling pathway inference using phosphoproteomics and kinase-substrate networks tinyurl.com/2n43jsc4

Meet me up at poster P-I-0053 to the phosphoproteomic changes in mechanical stressed skeletal muscle cells #hupo2024

My poster and I are on the way to #hupo2024. Exited to meet up with old friends and happy to make new ones.

@MattWFoster I'm looking forward to it. As we recently got the Astral and are still waiting for Thermo to start it up. Would be interesting to hear some real life experiences.

@AlexBoichenko Also on the same train. Wish you save travel seems selfish. Many poster rolls were also on the platform. Getting hyped!

On the way to #HUPO2024. See you today at my presentation during Thermo Scientific User Meeting and on Monday at my poster. Fingers crossed for getting to Dresden in time. Reconnect for #proteomics and #precisionmedicine

@jsschrepping Wow, Glückwunsch!
