VEuPathDB is hosting a community meeting for @VectorBase users to discuss plans for the future and answer your questions. 🦟See what all the buzz is about. 🕷️Mon, Nov 4, 10 AM EST/ 3 PM UTC. Register here today! upenn.zoom.us/meeting/regist…
Excellent. Spent an hour today doing something that would have taken 10 minutes on @veupathdb . Let’s hope a model for sustainable, long-term support of this amazing resource can be established.
Welcome back! VEuPathDB resources are back online today! We will continue to provide bioinformatics services under a new organizational structure. Read more here: veupathdb.org/veupathdb/app/…

"The increasing role of philanthropy and private cooperations in research funding poses great risks. They might pull their support any time and stop programs people count on." @NIH @NIAIDFunding : Hold my beer 🍺 Can't believe @veupathdb is gone 😭 plasmodb.org
@veupathdb and @VectorBase go dark over the weekend after more than 20 years of continuous service to their scientific communities. science.org/content/articl…
Dear @Zoom - if you already know I am the host of prescheduled Zoom call, and there is a required security patch before I can join the call, why can't you tell me before hand ?!
It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @ASTMH @TrendsParasitol @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @PiParasitology
First talk of last session of Arthropod Genomics Symposium on genomic insecticide resistance. Dr Kamau opens the session. Session chaired by @pamcafrica / @KEMRI_Kenya with @VectorBase running the laptop.
First talk of second day of Arthropod Genomics Symposium 🧬. Thanks @biocentis for kicking things off. Super excited for the program today.
Beautiful day in Nairobi, Kenya for the VectorBase bioinformatics workshop. Thanks to @ndeckinstitute and @NotreDameGlobal their support. Such amazing students in attendance learning research skills to help fight for global health.
The @vectorbase training workshop is about to begin - the room is ready. Exciting times in Nairobi, Kenya at the awesome @KCBGroup Leadership Centre
Our new preprint, presents bayesTPC, an R package that makes #Bayesian thermal performance curve fitting and analysis much easier and reliable than ever before! Special credit to the incredible talents of lead author @sean_sorek! @Jwsmith_jr, @Lrjohnson0 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
