I love mutants

Team Humpty Dumpty didn’t win the Biology Department egg drop, but we had an awesome design and esprit de corps. ⁦⁦@IUBiology⁩

Thanks to all who have expressed a willingness to support FlyBase. The wheels of bureaucracy are large and grind slowly. We expect to have a fee process in place by July.

For those interested in the status of FlyBase. @FlyBaseDotOrg https://t.co/Uut5aZo0PC

@FlyBaseDotOrg We ask for everyone’s patience as we establish a parallel U.S. + other country fee system at Flybase IU

[FlyBase @FlyBaseDotOrg]

We have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We're asking our colleagues from labs in the US 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.

I am so happy for Victor and another recognition of the impact of curiosity driven research. That which does not get you tenure at Harvard gets you…

We will be back up as soon as possible.

Most of FlyBase is currently down. There has been some extreme weather in Indiana, where our servers live, with ongoing power outages.

IU trustee Winston reveals that when trustees chair Buckner issued a statement of support for Whitten, he lied that it was unanimous and failed to consult all board members. Winston also criticizes Whitten’s “toxic” “culture of fear.” https://t.co/1EANmbKuIB

Evidently the Dunn Meadow policy on the website that IU keeps citing and hastily amended to squash free speech isn’t the official 1969 policy. @IUBloomington @IUBiology

[Ethan Sandweiss @the_real_sand]

IU says it acted on a 1969 policy when police enforced a last-minute rule change at a protest. But the actual Dunn Meadow policy doesn't reference committees or limits on structures. In fact, what’s on IU's website isn’t the policy at all @WFIUWTIUNews
