This vital resource @flybase.bsky.social is in acute peril: its funding blocked by the vindictiveness of Trump. Emergency funds needed *now*, pending longer term solutions. Personal donations from Europe can be made here (UK taxpayers can gift-aid); other routes also possible. US appeal to follow.

Enjoying excellent talks from JEDIs at the Château where birds are singing outside the lecture hall (more like a tent) and we got visited by a dog and a fox plus many bumblebees! #flyJEDI2025 @fly-jedi.bsky.social @arcticautophagy.bsky.social @cancelluio.bsky.social
