Mass spectrometry and solutions
I am a mass spectrometrist at the University of Manchester. I analyse molecules by weighing them.
I measure the shape of proteins and I am trying to translate the diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease from research to the clinic.

At the 44th South Africa Chemical Institute National Convention.
It's in the very beautiful Stellenbosch.
My first time in Africa
Science is GREAT, generally and here specifically.
It's the first general Chemistry meeting I have been to where the Analytical Track is the largest.
Shows how important it is!!

ok, short introductions:
Professor of Proteomics at Newcastle University, UK.

our lab has 3 main topics:
1. innate immunity and phagosome biology. Using proteomics, biochemistry and cell biology to understand signalling and the role of ubiquitylation on the phagosome.
2. mass spectrometry approaches for drug discovery. high-throughput MS assay development as well as target deconvolution by TPP.
3. collaborations over many areas, including microbiology, neurobiology, Parkinson's, Liver disease

Beautiful and needed solace.

Interesting preprint where IMMS and MD is used to study the structure and dynamics of a zinc-binding protein. With @perditab
and friends. #teammassspec #massspectrometry #moleculardynamics https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.01.518729v2

It is of course free movement of workers, not people.
Just saying.

Hello #MassSpec I want to try something new and create a gup.pe group (see https://a.gup.pe/ and their github for more). I believe I can create a group simply by mentioning the group name like this...

Shall we try and join the @massspec group?

Gup

"It’s not one thing that makes women leave. It’s death by a thousand cuts." Why are women so underrepresented in Maths and related fields, brilliant article by Prof Hannah Fry ⬇️ #genderequality #womeninstem #womenwhocode #womeninscience

Hannah Fry: Why do so few women excel at maths? Sexism, of course

It takes a great deal of resilience to counter outdated narratives

#PhD students of #Mastodon, I have created a Mastadon group for sharing PhD-related posts using @phdstudents when posting a PhD student toot. Let's help the group to grow and share our PhD student experiences.

This is the kind of analysis of data I like to see..
Almost chart recorder!

This post offers considerable insight into the ways that Mastodon's culture differs from that of Twitter, and should _continue_ to differ from that of Twitter.
