Majority of fruit fly immunity studies can be replicated, huge analysis finds Verification of 50 years of data bolsters immunology research, but identifies “suspicious” papers that don’t hold up

Comment on our @Reproducibility project in @Drosophila immunity. It is a normal that findings—however exciting and important at the time—may later prove to be more complex than initially believed. Re-evaluations is essential to the self-correcting nature of science. www.science.org/content/arti...

If using Bloomigton #Drosophila Stock Center stocks, pls. acknowledge them & their NIH funding (P40 OD018537). Papers listing this no. are being harvested as evidence. We massively depend on the @bdsc.bsky.social & they need our support in these dire times! @flybase.bsky.social @fly-eds.bsky.social

A CNRS French researcher turned away by the USA for expressing "a personal opinion on the policies pursued by the Trump administration"!!!
He was subjected to a random check on arrival, before his computer and phone were searched.
