    If you are a researcher whose lab uses FlyBase, consider a tax-deductible personal contribution. A lot of $100 contributions would help bridge the gap until we can set up a user fee system, and even $10 donations send the folks there the message we're behind them. Please share

    I led a ā€œpunk scienceā€ activity for our incoming freshman biology majors at our orientation event. They made zines and fliers on any topic they chose. Hereā€™s a sample:

    I wrote (ranted) on experimental design as I was frustrated as an editor at how little guidance students were getting. I underestimated the interest in the issue: it has been downloaded 10,000+ times! Clearly itā€™s something we need to be talking about more. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

    Here I argue that we do not discuss experimental design, often until it is too late. This editorial seeks to begin a conversation about how and where to replicate appropriately.
