Thrilled to announce that we have a new preprint on bioRxiv addressing the question: Why do E. muscae-infected flies die at sunset? No spoilers :) Love to hear what you think! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

- discover they are each other's terrible reviewer
- hijinks ensue

Working title: Love is Double-Blind

I appreciate the offers from other scientists to help Harvard (students, labs, etc) through this attack, but what would be most helpful is for you to use your position to contact your elected representatives and make it clear this fight isn't just Harvard, it will affect you, and their districts too

One problem we face today is how few people understand the scienceΒ that helps us all.Β Some scientists are able to explain the importance of their work.Β @baym.lol of Harvard University is one of them. Science is for everyone, and benefits us all more than most people know.

Data is being deleted off .gov servers. There are a few initiatives going to save this data, but spread the word.

Also, the list of NOAA data sets for deletion is changing dynamically. If you're involved in data conservation efforts, you need to be checking back often.
