Mass spectrometry websites, social media, journal feeds, and other links and items of interest to the mass spectrometry community.
I came across the background report for the Open Access to Scientific and Technical Information Conference when I was trying to figure out how much I liked the concept behind the Faculty of 1000 site. There is also a video of the webcast that has the discussion of this report (and other presentations). It’s good …

The November issue of Today’s Chemist At Work has an article on MS and Microbiology by Catherine Fenselau and Kathryn Jackson.
I have finally embarked in earnest on the quest to unite ASMS and IUPAC to get the MS terms and definitions situation in order. It has been about a dozen years since there was a general agreement on MS terminology and there has been just a little bit of change in the field in the …

The Virtual Mass Spectrometry Lab is a joint project between Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. There are some nice virtual reality views of real-life instruments, but the coolest thing is the virtual instrument pages that allow you to run experiments based on HTML form input. The frame-based interface is a little clunky …
