If EMBL-EBI managed data resources have ever saved you time & effort, this is your chance to give back! Fill in a 15-minute survey to help us: 🌍Demonstrate the real-world impact of our resources 🤓Understand your needs 🌟Secure continued funding Closes 16 July www.surveymonkey.com/r/QGFMBH8?ch...
We currently have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We are asking our colleagues from labs in the US and other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.
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.
