NVD Concedes Inability to Keep Pace with Surging CVE Disclosures in 2025
Security experts warn that recent classification changes obscure the true scope of the NVD backlog as CVE volume hits all-time highs.
Prototype work for a unified API for writing Proteomics Standards Initiative standardized formats for mass spectrometry:

With pip:
pip install psims
With conda:
conda install -c bioconda -c conda-forge -c defaults psims
from psims.mzml.writer import MzMLWriter
# Load the data to write
scans = get_scan_data()
with MzMLWriter(open("out.mzML", 'wb'), close=True) as out:
# Add default controlled vocabularies
out.controlled_vocabularies()
# Open the run and spectrum list sections
with out.run(id="my_analysis"):

# Write MSn scans
for prod in products:
