Science is intertwined with eugenics; eugenic ideologies continue to negatively impact #Indigenous communities to this day.

In the October issue of #GENETICS, @jazlynmooney.bsky.social and colleagues offer a timely and important reminder on the perils of eugenics. buff.ly/1Q5r3XF

Another key finding of our work is that nervous systems may have became centralized EARLIER than previously assumed 🤩.

We found that the ctenophore aboral organ is tightly associated with a condensed SYNCYTIAL nerve net. See below: comparison of regular vs. condensed nerve net.

An absolutely awful turn of events. I am heartbroken over the firing of the Flybase staff. Thanks to @claudia-lopez.bsky.social for covering this important story.
FlyBase, a Drosophila database, will lose a third of its team in early October because the Harvard grant that covered the employees’ salaries was canceled. Scientists warn that losing FlyBase could devastate fly research.

The "reproducibility crisis" in science constantly makes headlines. Repro efforts are often limited. What if you could assess reproducibility of an entire field?

That's what @brunolemaitre.bsky.social et al. have done. Fly immunity is highly replicable & offers lessons for #metascience

To my fellow #Drosophila colleagues & friends...

As you know @flybase.bsky.social has been under financial pressure due to #NIH cuts for several years.

With the threats Harvard is currently facing, supporting FlyBase is even more essential. If you have the means, make a tax-deductible donation.
