Preparations for the next JEDI meeting are underway! The upcoming Junior European #Drosophila Investigator / #NewPI meeting is planned for Portugal in June. Final dates and additional details will be announced soon - stay tuned for updates!​

Dear JEDIs, as we are self-organizing using the #EDRC as a nucleator we decided it is time for a JEDI database to boost our network! If you identify as a JEDI, please contact us here or send a mail to [email protected] to be added to our database. #Drosophila @fly-eds.bsky.social

The community of Drosophila researchers is amazing, mutually supportive and collaborative. Right now a key resource for our community, @flybase.bsky.social , is threatened by the cancellation of its NIH grant and is seeking community help in raising short term funds 1/n 🧪 please share

Devastating loss for one of the most important research model system

If you're into neurodevelopment, neural function and behaviour, this is a fantastic opportunity grounded in solid, impactful previous work!

#Drosophila @flybase.bsky.social requires emergency funding: "As it stands, by the end of July, 2025, there will be no future updates to #FlyBase, and in the worst case scenario access to the website will also be lost". Please help if you can!

If using Bloomigton #Drosophila Stock Center stocks, pls. acknowledge them & their NIH funding (P40 OD018537). Papers listing this no. are being harvested as evidence. We massively depend on the @bdsc.bsky.social & they need our support in these dire times! @flybase.bsky.social @fly-eds.bsky.social

Last few days to apply! Post-doctoral position 3 years Wellcome funded in UK To investigate how experience shapes the brain Drosophila neurogenetics, imaging, behaviour Deadline 19/3/25 Pls RP. #drosophila #postdoc #jobs Apply here edzz.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...
