Congrats @yvetteefisher.bsky.social and @channyskye.bsky.social and all other awardees, what an incredible group of neuroscientists! 🎉

Thrilled to announce that we have a new preprint on bioRxiv addressing the question: Why do E. muscae-infected flies die at sunset? No spoilers :) Love to hear what you think! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy Juneteenth, everyone!!

I am once again pitching my romantic comedy:

- two academics start dating
- discover they are each other's terrible reviewer
- hijinks ensue

Working title: Love is Double-Blind

Hello Fly Folks. quick note FlyBase is under duress due to termination NIH$ to Harvard and intl collabs. The hardworking folks @flybase.bsky.social are doing their darndest to ensure access to current data. For US, there will soon be a new site to donate. Please spread the word, ideas and support 🪰💪

I appreciate the offers from other scientists to help Harvard (students, labs, etc) through this attack, but what would be most helpful is for you to use your position to contact your elected representatives and make it clear this fight isn't just Harvard, it will affect you, and their districts too

One problem we face today is how few people understand the science that helps us all. Some scientists are able to explain the importance of their work. @baym.lol of Harvard University is one of them. Science is for everyone, and benefits us all more than most people know.

Trump’s NIH And NSF Cuts Estimated To Cost The U.S. Economy $10 Billion Annually Economists find public R&D drives a quarter of U.S. productivity growth — and pays for itself

Cutting federal research funding does the opposite of saving money.

Gave a talk at my parents’ retirement community to describe how science is done, and what is at stake. There was a ton of interest, and anyone can do this. Get the word out about how science affects everyone. I’m happy to share slides with anyone who asks- just get in touch! youtu.be/BY_SFgi-Cig

Data is being deleted off .gov servers. There are a few initiatives going to save this data, but spread the word.

Also, the list of NOAA data sets for deletion is changing dynamically. If you're involved in data conservation efforts, you need to be checking back often.

Why we study shrimp on treadmills: The case for curiosity-driven research “If we cut or limit funding for curiosity-driven research, we risk shutting down the pipeline of future innovation,” writes Carole LaBonne of Northwestern.
