Big meeting tomorrow, doing last minute analysis, trying to improve my scripts to be more than "Sort by fold change and guess at the function of hits". It really amazes me how few good tools there are in the world of proteomics for my type of data. No GSEA for protein-based pathways, little consensus on clustering methods, poor gene ontology, incomplete interaction maps, no cell-type enrichment, very little annotation of even the most common protein modifications.

My research right now feels only a step above the average Reddit science discussion: find a hit, pubmed it, and speculate. The rest of my day will consist of learning more about self-organizing maps. Hopefully talking to some real neuroscientists will give more insight.

Give me a year, I will cram some programming and mass spectrometry, then move to ETHZ or any other good proteomics hub in europe and solve all your problems yadayadayada :D
