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. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/community/ha...

Fascinating read not just about the implication la of making your abstract sound “cool” but also about how this changes with authorship gender 🤔

new out in Nature yesterday www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A new study published in Modern Pathology reveals that the growth pattern of breast cancer tumors after neoadjuvant treatment can indicate the risk of recurrence. This insight is crucial for assessing patient prognosis 🧪 #BreastCancer #Oncology www.modernpathology.org/article/S089...

Surprised to find only 21% of #BreastCancer in the UK is diagnosed via screening. The majority are diagnosed via symptoms and referral to '2 week clinic'. (Which I gather may be >2 weeks wait). The figure in Australia is 46%. Shouldn't the UK invest more in earlier (asymptomatic) detection? 🤔
