After 6 years stepping down from the @bioconductor.bsky.social Community Advisory Board. Sad ๐Ÿ˜ข, but it was such a nice experience and I really had the feeling to be part of a community and to contribute. Thanks to all ๐Ÿ™Œโค๏ธ! Maybe re-running in a couple of years, could well be that "I'll be back ๐Ÿ˜Ž"

Out now! xcms in Peak Form: Now Anchoring a Complete Metabolomics Data Preprocessing and Analysis Software Ecosystem doi.org/10.1021/acs.... with Phillipine and @jorainer.bsky.social (EURAC), @metabomichael.bsky.social, Hendrik and Norman from @ipbhalle.bsky.social, @janstanstrup.bsky.social, et al.

doi.orgxcms in Peak Form: Now Anchoring a Complete Metabolomics Data Preprocessing and Analysis Software EcosystemHigh-quality data preprocessing is essential for untargeted metabolomics experiments, where increasing data set scale and complexity demand adaptable, robust, and reproducible software solutions. Modern preprocessing tools must evolve to integrate seamlessly with downstream analysis platforms, ensuring efficient and streamlined workflows. Since its introduction in 2005, the xcms R package has become one of the most widely used tools for LC-MS data preprocessing. Developed through an open-source, community-driven approach, xcms maintains long-term stability while continuously expanding its capabilities and accessibility. We present recent advancements that position xcms as a central component of a modular and interoperable software ecosystem for metabolomics data analysis. Key improvements include enhanced scalability, enabling the processing of large-scale experiments with thousands of samples on standard computing hardware. These developments empower users to build comprehensive, customizable, and reproducible workflows tailored to diverse experimental designs and analytical needs. An expanding collection of tutorials, documentation, and teaching materials further supports both new and experienced users in leveraging broader R and Bioconductor ecosystems. These resources facilitate the integration of statistical modeling, visualization tools, and domain-specific packages, extending the reach and impact of xcms workflows. Together, these enhancements solidify xcms as a cornerstone of modern metabolomics research.

My take: Engineering *is* important. Ideas are cheap. Novelty is overrated. "Hyperparameter tuning" is a cynically dismissive term for something that is in fact the real, difficult problem.

Eugene Vinitsky ๐Ÿ’@eugenevinitsky.bsky.social

Sometimes Iโ€™ll see a paper that implements an idea Iโ€™ve had but implements it poorly for engineering reasons. But then itโ€™s hard to write a follow up paper because itโ€™s not โ€œnovelโ€ anymore
