This was truly an amazing meeting😍! Rarely have I had such fruitful exchanges with exceptional scientists. Thanks so much to @gfgenetik.bsky.social and especially @hake-chromatin.bsky.social and team for providing this opportunity🙏.
I’m feeling the post-conference motivation high🤩.

#Drosophila @flybase.bsky.social requires emergency funding:
"As it stands, by the end of July, 2025, there will be no future updates to #FlyBase, and in the worst case scenario access to the website will also be lost". Please help if you can!

FlyBase @flybase.bsky.social · Jun 3

We currently have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We are asking our colleagues from labs in the US and 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.

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯

Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below.

This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

There's a commentary on FlyBase with an update on FlyBase’s uptime and IP blocks :http://flybase.org/commentaries/2025_01/IPbans.html

(long thread incoming)
FlyBase’s servers have been experiencing an unprecedented amount of traffic recently, which has been causing the site to crash.
