We have finally navigated the endless red tape and gotten the donation site to support the US FlyBase groups up and running.

FlyBase needs your help! We ask that European labs continue to contribute to Cambridge, UK FlyBase, whereas US and other non-European labs can contribute to US FlyBase. For more information and how to donate: wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase...

If you are a researcher whose lab uses FlyBase, consider a tax-deductible personal contribution. A lot of $100 contributions would help bridge the gap until we can set up a user fee system, and even $10 donations send the folks there the message we're behind them. Please share

My friend’s life hangs on cancer research.

Now SCOTUS handed Trump the knife to slash it.

This isn’t policy—it’s a death sentence. Science saves lives, but only if democracy survives.

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.

That is what I was also told to do- resubmitted back in Jan, and it was assigned to a study section. I THINK the council meeting for the original submission will be in May?

Mr. Cuban, I am happy to see you advertising all of the great work that has resulted from the NIH/ government-funded research conducted in universities (also on NIH campus). If you'd like to learn more about the 'longevity medicine' sector, pls DM me.

I just had an update to a council meeting that was supposed to happen 1/28- saying that the council review was completed. However, I was told that the council meeting was canceled (as opposed to postponed). Could not be more confusing...
