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.
My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate.

Two journals tried paying peer reviewers and found increased acceptance, earlier reports, and no change in quality.

WHAT A SURPRISE!

Publishers trial paying peer reviewers — what did they find?
Two journals embarked on efforts to compensate reviewers, with different results.
