Finally, please see the below request from VeuPathDB:

Dear colleagues – The VEuPathDB project (including VectorBase) is up for renewal, which is likely to depend on strong support from our user community. Joshua Benoit has drafted a letter on behalf of the VectorBase community, for which we are seeking endorsement by lab heads worldwide (if you are a PI, feel free to bring this note to the attention of your lab head). Responses will be most helpful if received by 1 Aug 2023 ... do it today!

Follow this link to view the support letter and add your name, if desired.  Or copy and paste the following URL into your internet browser: https://upenn.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9pj0CnJgCziX0EK?Q_DL=KXpM4w9PN12ASAv_9pj0CnJgCziX0EK_CGC_smCVFBhJWpnnQHz&Q_CHL=email
