ATTENTION CREATIVE PROTEOMICS PEOPLE!
Official news and announcements are coming, but this year for US HUPO the VMO has successfully obtained funds to have a VIDEO COMPETITION. Please check on the US HUPO site to find the rules and stuff, I know we discussed them and read them all but it's like 6am and I can not be trusted with details.
Basically - you get 3 minutes to film something about proteomics in general or about applying it. The goal is for us to sort of get out of our scary mean mass spectrometrist wizard caves for people and to attempt to be approachable.
VMO will review the videos to make sure they're appropriate (whatever that means) and then at US HUPO in Portland we'll show the videos and vote on them. Winning videos get money (for themselves) and bragging rights!
I didn't know this, but apparently there are similar things out there. The chromatography crowd has been doing this for years and people have been "dancing their PhDs" for a long time as well. The former is relevant. The latter is surprisingly funny.
