Why attend #Dros25 this coming Spring? Hear from organizers @toddnystul & Michelle Bland — for the excitement of #Drosophila as a research organism & the welcoming nature of the community! 🪰🫂 Submit an abstract for poster presentation & register: bit.ly/3XPyNmu
#Dros25 organizer @toddnystul shared why the Fly meeting is so special to him. ~15 years ago, at the meeting in Chicago, while chatting with several young PIs he had just met there, they all decided to go have dinner. That fateful evening started a lifelong friendship 🫂 1/3 🧵
