So much incredible talent lost from HHS today. So much critical work that won’t get done.

This is an incredible cover.

If you worked in an HR department and fired a whole bunch of people to meet a quota, then realized you actually need these people to run the company, and then had to rehire the same people (which might be kind of difficult now), the next person the HR department should be firing is you.

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me.

Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.
