you may want to contact @brhopkins92.bsky.social who is organizing a new "fly species stock exchange" to collect info on which species are available amongst the community, and might be shareable. 🪰
hi everyone #Dros26. @tarafinegan.bsky.social and i had so much fun rocking the chicago fly meeting! remember to pick up your fly pin with the fly lyrics, courtesy of our friends at Genesee Scientific. visit their booth, they made 1000 of them, enough for everyone. i also have bunch, pls say hi! 🪰🎸🎶
With this war on Iran costing $1B per day, we are now at 4$B, an amount that would fund 3,200 five year NIH biomedical research grants.
Looking forward to #Dros26 this week. My lab is recruiting and I would be delighted to chat with anyone interested in grad school/postdoc positions in evolutionary cell biology and developmental genetics. Please reach out if interested!
all set for chicago fly meeting #Dros26! umm, why are instruments set up on stage?! find out at 9pm! 🪰

The impact is already hitting science agencies hard. The NIH—the world's largest public biomedical research funder—has had to rely on leftover stopgap funds.
New grant awards have slowed to a trickle — exacerbating the effects of a record-long shutdown in October.

Hey @axios.com, it’s actually nine jets, four of them luxury, with another luxury jet on the way. You’re only counting two luxury jets and the one on the way.
Please credit me when you confirm and update your story, thank you! gillianbrockell.ghost.io/noems-luxury...
Texas is so incredibly mismanaged, it's now a race to see which area of the state becomes uninhabitable first. Space Karen's new lithium refinery is operational, but Corpus Christi was predicted to run out of water in EARLY 2027 before they ever used a drop.
reason #753 why the FLY community is THE BEST! #FlyCROSS is the initiative of grad student Shefali @iamshef.bsky.social to match early stage fly researchers with experienced scientists aligned to their interests and goals. nearly 200 mentors and mentees signed up this year! see you all at #Dros26 🪰💪
what else do you need, really? 🎁🧀🪑
what?!? in 2026, my Skype name still counts as a valid login?!?

this thing in the gym closet frightens me every time. every time!
i cleaned off my new light meter and managed to get rid of the crusted athletic tape (who labels their stuff with that?!) also realized the "GE" dial twists for other settings. it looks amazing now, apple has nothing on the deco designs of yesteryear...

pro tip: if you find yourself by a diner that looks like this, go ahead and stop in for breakfast. @triggerloop.bsky.social
Hi fly folks! Fly Board elections close today-Feb 20. Cast your ballot for new President, Treasurer and Regional Reps. You do not need to be a GSA member to vote. It's been my honor to serve on Fly Board and we're lucky to have great candidates for our community! 🪰🗳️
