When I want to kick back and relax, I start with a hot cup of tea and the most recent issue of the American Chemical Society's Journal of Proteome Research. And because I'm such a faithful reader, I got a sneak peek at the January issue, which is filled with informative articles about, like, alkalines and whatever. Plus, one of my fave researchers, Sabine Bahn, M.D., Ph.D. (pictured here), has led her team to some really cool discoveries about proteins and schizophrenia and red blood cells and stuff like that. The important thing is the brain-tissue vs. body-tissue, but I don't want to confuse everyone. You'll have to read for yourself:

Abnormal proteins linked to schizophrenia found in body tissue
