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...

Majority of fruit fly immunity studies can be replicated, huge analysis finds

The "reproducibility crisis" in science constantly makes headlines. Repro efforts are often limited. What if you could assess reproducibility of an entire field? That's what @brunolemaitre.bsky.social et al. have done. Fly immunity is highly replicable & offers lessons for #metascience A 🧵 1/n

We currently have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We are asking our colleagues from labs in the US and other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.

The chance of the broccoli-headed fascists reaching NIH and destroying online NCBI tools and datasets we rely on isn't 0%, so it's worth making a list of the mirrors/alts offered by EMBL-EBI, etc that many of us (including me) are unaware of. #bioinformatics #genomics #biology #evosky #molevol
