Saw a post about GPU depreciation and I could hardly believe what second-hand H100s were selling for. The GPU market is wild.

There's an art to representing MS-based bioinformatics, and these authors have done an amazing job.

Yep, Ben @proteomicsnews.bsky.social and I finally got Bill Noble on #THEProteomicsShow. We had been wanting him on forever so he went and won an award to make it easier for us to meet. Enjoy the rambles (I hope), and mind the monkeys. Find it wherever you find fine podcasts.

Nerf guns + eye protection for the family (including us, the parents) were a huge hit.

Fwiw chemistry is often called the bottleneck for platform biotech co's because the main affordable places to get chemistry done are WuXi and Enamine, and it takes 2-3 months to get compounds back from them. 2-3 month is a looong wait in startup time. Other places are more/too expensive.

My first @umasschan.bsky.social/@impvienna.bsky.social affiliated paper is up!

tomtom-lite is a re-implementation of tomtom targeting the ML age of genomics. Fast annotations ("what is this motif?") and simple large-scale discovery of motifs.

Affinity has a cleaner UI and some tools that are missing in Inkscape.

The suite also has a Photoshop and InDesign replacements - I’ve used the later for my scientific posters for awhile now

Affinity has been my favorite design software for awhile now. Now that its free is even better!
