Show PostAs you may know, NIH abruptly terminated funding to FlyBase curators based in the United Kingdom. Please help us retain these curators and thereby enable ongoing curation of bibliographic, genetic and phenotypic data by contributing annually (tinyurl.com/4jw65mbb). Thank you. #FlyBase
Show PostI am very serious about citing resources (ZFIN, Flybase, Wormbase, yeast, mouse, rat, human, etc) and asking authors to cite them precisely for this reason: the more we talk about them and cite them in our papers, the better chance we have at justifying why we should increase the budget 🧪
Show PostScientific and medical progress will be stunted if we don’t find a way to sustainably fund these important resources!
Show PostWe had an amazing day #Morpho5🖐️ last Friday! Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fantastic day of science, discussion, and community!!| We're currently gathering and preparing the photos from the symposium. Stay tuned! 📸
