In a note more related to the supposed topic of this blog, if you are new to proteomics there are tons of tools out there.  It doesn't need to be that daunting to get into this field.  As an example, yesterday I learned about this resource that is available on iTunes.  A whole slew of intro to proteomics videos produced by our friends at the Broad (like toad) Institute!  They are less than a year old (no old info here!) and broken into concise topics for easy digestion.
