Web Wednesdays

Today's focus will be on two tech-savvy ways to get answers to your questions about all things Drosophila-related.

A Classic: DroBioNet.

DrosBioNet dates at least as far back as 1993. Based on my experience, topics frequently include job posts, meeting announcements, and requests for advice, protocols and reagents.

Posts are organized by date. Subscribe via email or RSS.

A New Kid: FlyBase Forum.

Another place to view job postings, news and announcements, and ask questions or request protocols--but in an updated on-line environment. Features news and updates from FlyBase. And private messaging among registered users.

Posts are organized by topic. Registration required for many features.

Expect info about forums focused on RNAi in a future post.
