MassLive.com recently interviewed several Harvard FlyBase people and wrote this news article about the importance of FlyBase: tinyurl.com/4chpts9f
Thanks to all who have expressed a willingness to support FlyBase. The wheels of bureaucracy are large and grind slowly. We expect to have a fee process in place by July.
For those interested in the status of FlyBase. @FlyBaseDotOrg thetransmitter.org/community/flyb…
We have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We're asking our colleagues from labs in the US other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.
The cancellation of Harvard grants has put @FlyBaseDotOrg on life support. The Flybase grant is at Harvard and everything else is a subcontract. This community resource is absolutely essential! philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-cambri…
Hey #Drosophila folks ! #FlyCROSS is back and #Mentor surveys are open NOW ! If you're a faculty/postdoc/ equivalent in any scientific career & have #Drosophila research experience - this is an incredible opportunity to pay it forward! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
In the new #GENETICS #FlyBook article, @REMLehmann and colleagues dive deep into the #Drosophila embryonic germcell development processes: germplasm assembly & function, pole cell formation and specification, & their migration to gonadal precursors. 🪰 buff.ly/lfKYEyg
