Diese Entscheidung macht wütend. Nicht rechtzeitig abgemahnt? Wusste der Mann nicht, dass er nicht seine Machtposition ausnutzen darf um sexualisierte Gewalt auszuüben? An so vielen Stellen katastrophal. Geschlechtsbezogene Gewalt wird hingenommen, was sonst.

Can forward the email I received from the Europe side. They have split two funding campaigns into a US side and a Europe side. Donations must be placed through the Cambridge-linked facility for Europe via lab PO or personal payment via the following page: www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...
We are writing to ask your help in saving FlyBase. We have lost the majority of funding for FlyBase from the US National Institute of Health (NIH), due to the turmoil of current US politics. We had successfully renewed FlyBase grant funding for another 5 years, however the main FlyBase Grant from NIH to Harvard, with its subawards to Indiana University and Cambridge UK, has been terminated at short notice. Furthermore, the user fees that have been so generously provided by Drosophila researchers are tied to the FlyBase grant so we are not permitted to use those either. As it stands, by the end of July, 2025, there will be no future updates to FlyBase, and in the worst case scenario access to the website will also be lost.

...

There are two ways you can contribute:

Method 1. If you are able to pay with lab funds, we have attached two requests for payments, aimed at smaller and larger labs, which we hope will be acceptable for your finance administrators. If you require a different kind of form, please reply with the details that you need. Similarly, if you wish to pay a different amount we can also adjust it for you.
Please use the reference ‘Drosophila Genetic Database’ and add your name and institution to the requests.

Method 2. If you want to make a personal donation or if it is easier to pay with a credit card, we have set up the following crowdfunding website:

Using data from a #spider and an #ant, we conclude that fresh samples are best, but cell culture medium preservation and to a lesser degree flash frozen tissue are good alternatives. We offer step-by-step advice for novices to #ATACseq emphasizing the importance of quality control at every stage.
