Can geniuses suffer from cognitive dissonance or is that just gaslighting…either on their own intelligence or understanding what makes a hero.

@TD_Cummins_PhD Hopefully the only for this winter. There’s a reason why one of my favorite songs is by the Cowboy Junkies.

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

@UofLEVPRI @TD_Cummins_PhD Absolutely!

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

@GarciaLabMS Nice. Epigenetic markers of ice crystal patterning and formation!

New study described as “stunning and pivotal “. Long story short: stem cells from fat were trained to produce insulin and given back to the diabetic donor. Over a year later the patient is not taking insulin. https://t.co/CChEJnDTCi

@JonBKlein Game changer. Wow!

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

@TD_Cummins_PhD Congratulations!!

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

@JonBKlein Forgone conclusion!

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

@TD_Cummins_PhD Outstanding. Congrats to you both! She’ll do great in the lab.

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

@michaelsteidel1 Absolutely respect labs like Alexey’s that enable state of the art resources for the public and also maintain and continue to add to them! Too many 1-n-done tools published. The fact that industry is willing to pay should drive more people to that tool.

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

@TD_Cummins_PhD Nice! Is that your game face?

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

@TD_Cummins_PhD Where’d you find that?

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

@TD_Cummins_PhD Maybe. I think it’s a PD2.5 quirk for peptide quantification for sure.

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

@TD_Cummins_PhD Thanks. The FDR gods must be appeased.

You have a strong background in bioinformatics🖥️, data science📈, machine learning, and multi omics? You want to do a PhD👩‍🎓facilitating non-clinical safety assessment? If so, come and join our ProteomicsDB team.

@DRAWheatcraft @JoelisSteele lol. I love cake also! Please post a snap!
But for this crowd I’d prefer it to be technical plus graphic. My pptx get cluttered with crude figures. I was thinking the Proteome-X community might fill the gap pointing out a prime literature review figure from the past 3-4y.

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

Calling proteomics people! I’m looking for award winning diagrams for DDA and DIA workflows. My success with stick figures and PowerPoint is failing epically. Any recommendations for published figures I can use would be greatly appreciated.

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

@GarciaLabMS Congratulations!

[Michael Merchant @Peptidome]

@JoelisSteele This would be to present to a clinical audience. Essentially a medicine grand rounds presentation. I need to include discussion of both DDA data and DIA. So would need to introduce and capture the differences in approach’s within one or at most two slides at most.

@OhioStateNeph @OSUWexMed @BradRovin Congratulations!!!
