Loren Looger, legendary protein wrangler, who always generously shared their genetically encoded calcium indicators and more while still in development and unpublished, is asking for labs to co-write grants with him:

"Dear science world, I need help, please. If you like the tools and data we generate, and our shareware attitude, can you please co-apply for funding with us? It turns out that I'm terrible at writing grants, and we need $$ or else we can't make more GCaMPs, RCaMPs, SnFRs (we've branched out to neuromodulators and neuropeptides), FPs, viruses, tags, etc. We'll also make whatever you want, but we need $$ to do it. DM or email me, sooner is better. Sorry to be desperate, but we want to keep doing this, and I'm not sure we can."
