I didn’t expect to show up in a political cartoon this year, but I’m grateful. @chappatte.bsky.social ’s work has always stood out for its wit and courage, and his series “USA: Those Who Resist” captures this moment perfectly. How good is your French?

🪰 folks! I spoke to the Transmitter about FlyBase. As noted at flybase.org, bridge $ ran out and many staff were laid off.

Good news is stopgap contributions will keep core FlyBase operations active. But community support remains essential. Please donate @FlyBase and share! 1/2

A huge shoutout to all the dedicated grants management specialists at the NIH who are working around the clock to push grants out before the Sep 30 deadline. And also to the POs responding to frantic emails.
Not an easy job under the best of circumstances and right now it's the pits.
Thank you!
