Second annual JBC Methods Madness tournament begins next week

Calling all scientists! The Journal of Biological Chemistry’s second annual Methods Madness tournament is here.

Last year’s tournament came down to the wire with #TeamCryo scraping by #TeamMassSpec to be crowned the first ever #JBCMethodsMadness champion. Can #TeamCryo repeat this year? Will #TeamMassSpec get revenge? Will both be upset by a new contender? Now is your chance to decide who makes it through.

The madness begins on Monday. (See tournament schedule below). Submit your bracket by Sunday for a chance to win a $100 gift card.
