Obviously they could pay the publishing fees.
I wish I could say I was shocked, but................

But will it advocate for me better than human physicians do?

OMG - this has to be somebody testing the review/publishing system. The abstract alone is in barely discernible English.
If it is a test, this is a major fail & thus comment on how NPG actually operates (which I have also disappointingly learned from reviewing for them!).

Interesting that 2 nations in desperate need of regime change get together to attack another nation that needs the same.
Rationale:
1) Distraction & misdirection;
2) When at war, stay in power;
3) Some folks will make money off of this

Should we start a pool on which firm is next?

The sad issue with proteomics (omics as a whole)....throughput over quality, seemingly in the hopes that something 'good' falls out of 'lots' of data (even if not assessing the critical molecular species).

Wonder if a student needed a publication?

Pathway seems even shorter at universities.
A combination of Peter Principle and Dunning-Kruger.

They've got everything 'resolved' (if they are using the right methods)

Nepotism appointments??

Agreed - they should be charging parking fees for maintenance rather than taxes.

Really makes you wonder why the graph wasn't inverted in presentation???

...or the Don, or the Gardiner, or the QEW, or...........

They don't even know what 'filet mignon' is. Science (notably the omics) is seemingly dominated by quick-&-dirty vs patient output of the highest quality that translates into genuine knowledge. Then again, perhaps that's what our uni's & funding systems promote. It's the textured soy vs the filet.

Hopefully not, but those individuals 'getting around' holding more than one grant should be on the ice floes, as should the institutional administrators who are hiding and/or helping with this.

Does this also say something about the general quality of reviewing (and who's doing it), not to mention the quality of what goes on in the editorial offices?!

Good schools in Canada to disappear them to.........

Tribridicidal?

Would that then be 'tribridal'?

....and you still only get assessment of canonical amino acid sequences. Is that really 'deep' regardless of the 'plex'?

Guess that's the tribe though.

'Tribalism'...in proteomics! No....say it ain't so!

Sigh.......

Agreed - but the coffee tastes better.

Same - the 2 squirrels who have figured out the supposedly 'Squirrel-proof' bird feeder my wife bought are not going to LA either!
Think we'll just sit on the back deck and enjoy watching them and the birds this summer.

When did it start being a clinical journal?

Might have to change the name of the journal???

Sounds like a much more logical investment than BDC spending funds on things like Jayne’s Cottages - a luxury rental and concierge company that is not really something I want to see my tax dollars funding. Really wonder how things like that happen............hmmmm.

...when using lazy, hackneyed protocols.
Like any good science, it takes time & attention to detail in order to get it right. Unfortunately, the vast, vast majority of published work is sloppy & inappropriately interpreted.
So, like a lot of mass spectrometry....very user-dependent!

If the overpaid & largely incompetent senior admin's get to keep their titles & paychecks, they will pretend to make some noise but then go along with it. Like almost all uni's in the country, admin will suck-up to whoever puts $$ in their personal pockets & let's them keep 'authority over others'.

They served breakfast? There is a joke in there but I won't go near it...

Any chance of seeing the talk online?!

Are you describing TP or uni senior admin in general...or at least their average competency & that of their minions & external consultants that they spend taxpayers' funding on?!?

But is it 'unfortunate'?
