John Gurdon en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gu..., beacon of a generation that tackled head on the deepest question of biology: the development of an organism. The best tribute to him and his peers should be to remember and follow the path they forged for how to do Science in form and content.
Can anybody tell us, what this all will mean for research at universities? There are two pillars of scientific innovation in our society: industry and universities. Each should be allowed to play at their strengths to have maximal gain. We lose this perspective!

Flybase lost all of the NIH support overnight - it is a disaster for the community. Please consider donating. I just did! www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...
Exciting news for #drosophila #connectomics and #neuroscience enthusiasts: the Drosophila male central nervous system connectome is now live for exploration. Find out more at the landing page hosted by our Janelia FlyEM collaborators www.janelia.org/project-team....
Now on the GREAT SCIENCE SHARE: Reaching thousands of primary schools across the UK and far beyond talking about the importance of the fruit fly #Drosophila

🧠🎉 Our new preprint uncovers how a decline in autophagy drives neuronal decay in brain ageing via microtubule cytoskeleton modifications.

FlyBase, a Drosophila database, will lose a third of its team in early October because the Harvard grant that covered the employees’ salaries was canceled. Scientists warn that losing FlyBase could devastate fly research.

I watched much of Ian Chapman's (Head of @ukri.org) appearance this morning at @ukparliament.parliament.uk Science, Innovation and Technology Committee..
A few points and new information that bioscientists may find interesting...
