Hello internet,

What are some conferences in the gene drive and CRISPR in insects worlds that people have their eyes on?

Any suggestions are welcome!

Hello Bluesky!

My name is Matthew, I am a PhD student at @biouea.bsky.social with the @nrpdtp.bsky.social.

I study an agricultural pest, the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, and we are looking at genetic methods to combat this fly, such as CRISPR-Cas9 based gene drives.

Hope to meet people on here!
