Drosophila Research Laboratory works on Individuality / Personality @FU Berlin @JEDI
This vital resource @flybase.bsky.social is in acute peril: its funding blocked by the vindictiveness of Trump. Emergency funds needed *now*, pending longer term solutions. Personal donations from Europe can be made here (UK taxpayers can gift-aid); other routes also possible. US appeal to follow.
