ASCB is advocating for scientific data transparency and policy protections. We joined 230+ organizations urging Congress to restore federal data access and signed a letter supporting researchers. Read more: www.ascb.org/society-news...

I was apart of the inaugural Teachstravaganzs and it was a blast. We worked hard, we had fun all in the name of science education. Consider applying!

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

Every year I am reminded of how incredible the Cell Biology community is at ASCB.

What’s up with Downes? @gbdownes.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

Yup. And efforts to address these very real issues are about to come under sustained attack.

Imagine if we just had a ton of really queer people, butch dykes, trans men and women, etc queue up to use the bathroom outside of Nancy Mace’s office and make them tell us which one we are allowed to use. Absolute gender fuckery.

United we stand, divided we fall.

Political cartoon showing a line of dominos. The first one is labeled Trans Rights and has a blue-pink-white trans flag painted on it and is tilting. Three people (representing a trans man, trans woman, and person wearing rainbow colors) are pushing back to keep it from falling. Behind it the second domino is labeled "Gay Rights" and "Freedom of Expression" and has a couple, one member of who is pulling the other from behind the domino and walking towards the first domino. The 3rd one "Women's Rights" and "Free Love", a woman is pointing and shouting to rally others behind the domino to come forwards, the 4th one " Free Speech" and "Democracy" and has people peering out from behind it as well as two people running forwards with a piece of lumber, the 5th one "Freedom of Religion" and "Modernity", and has a few people nervously peeking out from behind it, the 6th one is "Literacy". Dominos 7-10 are unlabeled and faded out in the background.

Text on bottom: "United we stand, Divided we fall"

Happy Fly Day! November 18th is #Drosophila day. It commemorates the isolation of a white-eyed mutation, which is now used across the world. That mutation is white[1118], with the numbers standing for Nov 18th, the day it was isolated by Bob Levis. 🪰

I am still in my aversion to news phase of grieving. I also feel so betrayed by all the news outlets (except NPR). My news consumption habits are going to have to change (once I am over this phase…).

America will never be able to move forward until it reckons with its sins of the past. Period. We will be stuck in this loop until we do the work.

Since we are in the re-building mood. I work with a fierce group of undergraduates at Reed College, we study all things cytoskeleton, using Drosophila and their cells. 👨🏾‍🔬🔬🧫

It’s always good to catch up with a good friend. Seminar hosts can become life-long friends. Unfortunately Arnaldo has made the leap here…yet.
