@joann-trejo.bsky.social, @marymunson4.bsky.social and I have a commentary in @natcellbio.nature.com on recent attacks on DEI in biomedical research: "If scientific research, especially biomedical research, is meant to serve everyone, then it requires that everyone has an opportunity to participate"

I’m not sure. I need to investigate. But, it has been a long-standing tradition. Great for team bonding. We had 58labs/ teams register this year!

Flybase is free to use but not free to make. It takes large teams of people and millions of dollars a year to create the knowledgebas and tools for fly research. Please donate generously.

I also had the best co-instructors (pictured here) and teaching assistants to make this course run smoothly!
