Harvard University lays off fly database team
The layoffs jeopardize this resource, which has served more than 4,000 labs for about three decades.
FlyBase, a Drosophila database, will lose a third of its team in early October because the Harvard grant that covered the employeesβ salaries was canceled. Scientists warn that losing FlyBase could devastate fly research.

I just got the notice that all the FlyBase people at Harvard, including me, will be laid off on October 12. I'm devastated.
