This morning Larry Abbott, 2024 Brain Prize winner, delivered a plenary lecture at #ECNP2025. It was a stunning example of how reconstruction of neural circuits at synapse resolution can provide fundamental insights into mechanisms of circuit computation. #NeuralCircuits

We are pleased to announce that the 2nd DrosoSpain meeting #DrosoSpain2026 will take place in San Joan de Alicante from the 9th to the 11th of April 2026 #SaveTheDate

Exciting news for #drosophila #connectomics and #neuroscience enthusiasts: the Drosophila male central nervous system connectome is now live and free to use and explore. Find out more at the landing page hosted by our Janelia FlyEM collaborators https://t.co/jKgJgBMxCW.

Great opportunity to present your work this Xmas !!! @InstitutoCajal @CSIC 🧠☃️❄️

There's an update on the state of FlyBase on the https://t.co/e1TirvvBJm front page. You can contribute to FlyBase at this link https://t.co/IrQapPFJWR. We express enormous gratitude to the people, labs, groups, and foundations who have already helped us. #FlyBase #Drosophila

📢📢📢Only 15 days left to apply! Don’t miss this opportunity #ChristmasMeeting_IN

🪰 More than 750 scientists from 40+ countries gathered in Alicante for the XXVIII European Drosophila Research Conference (#EDRC2025). For 4 days, the fruit fly took center stage as a model to study health, aging, and disease👏 @edrc2025

You can now search FlyBase and WormBase sequence data using the Alliance of Genome Resources BLAST server: https://t.co/eQsIzrDvSG The Fly interface allows searching against many arthopods, #FlyBaseTweetorial #BLAST

#EDRC2025 is very grateful to all our platinum, gold and silver sponsors!

We are extremely grateful to all our institutional aponsors. Without them, #EDRC2025 would not be possible!

The FlyBase situation has made the national news

Abstract submission is now closed but you can still register to #EDRC2025 until the meeting starts! Looking forward to seeing you all in Alicante!

PhD students and postdocs in single-cell and spatial omics in neurosciences - don’t miss this opportunity. Apply now! @FENSorg @NeuroAlc @SENC_

There are only 8 days left to register to @edrc2025 and we would like to thank all our sponsorss! We start acknowledging the support received from @Co_Biologists to #EDRC2025 Thank you!

There are only 10 days left to register for EDRC 2025! Visit https://t.co/zLO8q1sjWb for more information. @edrc2025 @FlyBaseDotOrg @NeuroAlc @UniversidadMH @CSIC @drosospain

Neuronal diversity is written in transcriptional codes 🧬. But what is the logic of these codes that define cell types and wiring patterns? To find out we built a #scRNAseq developmental atlas of the Drosophila nerve cord and linked it to the #connectome 🪰🧠 Tweeprint! ⬇️1/8

Dear Drosophilist, if you haven’t done so, please support our vital resource and knowledgebase! It takes a lot of people and funding to produce, maintain, update, improve a resource like this, and our key source of funding has been terminated due to politics. Check our wiki page!
