If you're at #Dros26 and are interested in how cells change shape & move during morphogenesis & how different classic cadherins influence different cell behaviors, check out the talk by @saraheclark.bsky.social in Cell Biology: Cytoskeleton, Organelles, & Trafficking II Sat 9:15 🧪

To the next generation friendships 🥂

Thank you @nehaghosh.bsky.social
We are missing you here this year 🥹

Folks interested to know more about this work, check out Lautaro's insights at @the-node.bsky.social

And he's soon starting his lab at @iubiology.bsky.social - so please reach out to him if you're interested!

Rebecca is starting her lab as a UCSF Sandler fellow in August 2026; folks at #Dros26 interested in host-parasitoid interactions should try to catch her at the meeting to find out about available positions: www.tarnopollab.org/people

hi everyone #Dros26. @tarafinegan.bsky.social and i had so much fun rocking the chicago fly meeting! remember to pick up your fly pin with the fly lyrics, courtesy of our friends at Genesee Scientific. visit their booth, they made 1000 of them, enough for everyone. i also have bunch, pls say hi! 🪰🎸🎶

@tarafinegan.bsky.social You are here! Glad you still consent to know me now that your career as a rock start is taking off

Eugenia Piddini (Univ Bristol) talking about cell competition and loser mutations in tumor cells; focus on single copy ribosomal gene loss (minute) mutations & different consequences on a variety of cellular pathologies and vulnerabilities yet such mutations paradoxically common in cancers #Dros26

The youngest and the most inspiring member of our lab - Dr Thom Kaufman is presenting a poster at #Dro26 on Saturday (P693).

Do stop by to learn about the new insights on #proline #metabolism !

#Drosophila @tennessenlab.bsky.social @iubiology.bsky.social @genetics-gsa.bsky.social

@neuroseq.bsky.social teaching us all how #drosphila brings hope - both in science and beyond. Truly inspiring!

We need to keep coming up with creative ways to continue empowering the next generation 🎉

#Dros26

Syed Mubarak Hussain (UNM) @neuroseq.bsky.social starts his talk with delightful lab montage footage set to theme of the Office (TV show). His talk on how neural diversity arises during development to make up the adult fly brain, and how (person) diversity is critical for good science #Dros26

David Bilder (UC Berkeley) presenting a fascinating talk on how not only fundamental cell biological aspects of cancer but also anti-tumor immunity is conserved in invertebrates even in absence of adaptive arm. Cellular immunity slows tumor progression and humoral immunity kills tumor cells. #Dros26

I am incredibly excited to share that I will start my independent lab at the @unidue-zmb.bsky.social at the @unidue.bsky.social as Junior Professor of Cellular Biochemistry. Research in my lab has the goal to decipher the ubiquitin code!
There are multiple open positions!

YouTube video by The Company of Biologists Why propose a topic for one of our Workshops?

Getting involved as an organiser of one of our Workshops is easy. We focus on the logistics, so you can focus solely on the science. Watch this video to hear from some of our previous organisers. The call for proposals for 2028 programme runs until 29 May. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eShr...

The wonderful historic city of Marburg

🚨 University Marburg (Germany) is recruiting a W2 Professor of Mol. Pharmacology in the Faculty of Medicine.

En route to Chicago for the @genetics-gsa.bsky.social #Dros26 meeting. Alek and Nora, undergraduates from the #JadavjiLab, will be presenting their work on Friday 03/06, posters 669F and 670F. Come check out our work on fruit flies and hypoxia!

Foggy arrival in Chicago. On the blue line heading downtown for #Dros26. I’m co-chairing the Immuntiy & Microbiome session Sat AM. @taylarmouton.bsky.social from @broderickflylab.bsky.social will be speaking in the Repro&gametogenesis session at the same time. Looking forward to a great meeting!

all set for chicago fly meeting #Dros26! umm, why are instruments set up on stage?! find out at 9pm! 🪰

Come drop and say hi at the mixer.

Proud of Dr @tarnopol.bsky.social who received the Sandler Award for “Outstanding Drosophila Thesis” at the fly meeting #Dros26 in Chicago this evening! @genetics-gsa.bsky.social

The best keynote talks make you wish you studied the question the speaker is presenting. In that respect, this amazing talk by Amita Sehgal (UPenn) on how and why flies sleep (which is likely the same reason we do) is just so amazing it’s hard to describe. Mind is truly blown. #Dros26

So excited to B repping the Hanlon Lab at #Dros26 in Chicago!!!

B-wildered by the B chromosomes? Come see my talk on the meiotic drive of the B chromosomes Friday morning in the Evolution I section!

So excited to be at Fly Meeting in Chicago! Feels like coming home. #DROS26

Hey #DROS26 attendees, want to connect while exploring Chicago? Meet in the lobby by check-in for a 30-minute walk from 7:45 a.m. on Thursday and Friday morning! If the weather holds up, we'll visit Millennium Park tomorrow, and the riverwalk Friday. If it rains, we'll hang out in the lobby!

I'll pass on your compliments to her @peiferlabunc.bsky.social . We are missing you here at the fly meeting. But I'll be sure to record their performance 😊

DO NOT MISS the opening session of #DROS26 this evening - beginning at 7pm.

You are going to be in for a treat listening to @lucksmith.bsky.social and Tara Finnegan perform "The fly song"

#Drosophila

To learn about how glucose #metabolism interacts with the #mTor pathway to regulate #Drosophila larval brain growth, come to my talk on Saturday at 5 pm in Physiology, Metabolism and Aging II session.

Come for the science and stay for the most hilarious lab picture 🤭
