🪰 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.bsky.social @csic.es @dicv.csic.es @umh.es

I'm flying back home after 4 days of fantastic science at the #EDRC2025 It was delightful to hear about all the new work, meeting old and new friends. I'm feeling energized to get back to my CO2 pad. Long live the Drosophila community!

Thanks to the organisers and all attendants for this great meeting #EDRC2025 . See you in Bonn! #drosophila #edrc2027

Such an amazing experience sharing science with a wonderful community! Thanks so much 🧬🔬@edrc2025.bsky.social @fly-eds.bsky.social

Thank you to all #EDRC2025 participants and a big applause to the organizing committee for this great #Drosophila meeting! See you all in Bonn for #EDRC2027

Love goes out to all the fly peeps @edrc2025.bsky.social, fantastic meeting and we had brilliant time together with @classenlab.bsky.social in Alicante!♥️♥️♥️ Can’t wait for the EDRC 2027 in Bonn!

At #EDRC2025 we have had two great póster sessions with plenty of #Drosophila science discussions, cheese, wine and jamón!

Can a fly 🪰and a mouse 🐭 "smell" the difference between vibrations? Come find out at poster 291. Happy to chat about RNA in olfactory discrimination @edrc2025.bsky.social

Well done to the organisers @edrc2025.bsky.social , we thank you!!!!

This morning I had the fantastic opportunity of presenting my postdoctoral research at @edrc2025.bsky.social A big thank you to the organizers and all participants for creating such a stimulating environment for scientific discussion!

The 2025 General Assembly is now on at #EDRC2025

We are on day 3 of #EDRC2025 continuing with excellent #Drosophila science

Day 3 @edrc2025.bsky.social once again fantastic community, science and people. Grateful to be here!

Very honoured to be given the opportunity to present at my favourite research conference @edrc2025.bsky.social in yesterdays panel on Disease models. I appreciated the engaging discussion and look forward to seeing more talks on the amazing work done in Drosophila!

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 last (but not least) featured keynote speaker is Wei Zhang from Peking-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences. Her research focuses on integrating experimental and computational approaches to investigate evolutionary innovation and functional diversification at the levels of micro and macroevolution.

We are pleased to announce the full #EDRC2025 programme is now live! edrc2025alicante.com/wp-content/u...

Another keynote speaker at #EDRC2025 is @mcgambetta.bsky.social from the Center for Integrative Genomics in Lausanne. Her research group is interested in the mechanisms of gene regulation, using #Drosophila as a model. Looking forward to her talk!

We have the honour of having Silke Sachse as one of our keynote speakers at #EDRC2025 . Silke leads a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena @maxplanck.de studying the neural mechanisms that enable animals to encode and interpret diverse odors that drive behavior.

Congratulations to @jackholcombe.bsky.social for his #EDS best PhD thesis award! Jack will give a plenary talk at #EDRC2025
