Thank you #Dros21 co-organizers, GSA and MOST importantly the amazing world of Drosophila researchers — especially new flyologists and first timers — for contributing. As always, I leave awestruck and inspired. See you in San Diego to #FruitFlyTogether again at #Dros22

Thankful for talented past-current Kiger Lab members, including many undergrads. They made/make science happen while being good humans to share the unexpected paths. Thrilled to continue to #FruitFlyTogether with @JeanlabUdes, Naonobu Fujita, @InesMARibeiro (hire her!) #Dros21

Don’t miss discovering the many scientific gems and trailblazing scientists at the #Dros21 poster sessions Wednesday and Thursday! Preview Remo tips and YFP (your favorite posters) on the Dros21 website and app. See you at the tables! #FruitFlyTogether

Don't miss the #Dros21 poster sessions tomorrow! We encourage all attendees to drop in and chat to at least a few poster presenters. #FruitFlyTogether

@Drea_Drby LOVED the slam! Hope to see new iterations at future meetings. Congrats!

@CoralWarr @UniMelb @MonashBiol @TasSchoolMed I also can’t help but show my cell biology class many captivating fly examples — they bring fascination of cells to life

My fly person journey began with a PhD @UniMelb with the wonderful Len Kelly, then postdoc at Yale with John Carlson. I’ve since run my own group @MonashBiol & @TasSchoolMed. I use flies so much in teaching that students regularly make me cartoons! #fruitflytogether #Dros21

With my kids in Balboa Park, my back yard in San Diego, for sunset and tacos tonight. Sorry could not include friends at #Dros21, but I look forward to #FruitFlyTogether with all back here for #Dros22. That will be tequila and tacos!

I’m also grateful for our ongoing friendship and shared scientific interests, Julie! The impressive crew from Minx Fuller’s Lab and Stanford DB shaped me - from lessons in fly genetics to being an upstanding scientist and part of a special community who still #FruitFlyTogether.

#FruitFlyTogether Thinking of inspiring fly friend, Katja Brückner (UCSF). Her sharp scientific mind, creativity and big smile are sorely absent at #Dros21 and to be missed in years to come. We were postdocs together @PerrimonLab. Thankful for shared memories & her support. 💔

@folker_lab @singingshoes21 @Drea_Drby @ArmstrongFlyLab Fantastic session! More examples of how clever folks are dissecting complex physiology from organism to tissues to cellular mechanisms

No better way to spend the day than at #dros21. Head over to the Physiology across scales session I helped organize with @singingshoes21 Michelle Bland, @Drea_Drby and @ArmstrongFlyLab. RNA splicing, cell contacts, Blood Brain Barrier - it's all there.

Start your weekend off right! More great talks and superhero scientists on deck at #Dros21 Plenary Session 4 on Saturday morning 11:00am EDT / 8:00am PDT. And stay tuned to the program for more to follow.

@HarmitMalik @GeneticsGSA @RusanLab @MArbeitman @TanentzapfLab That’s only UNTIL April 22, so more than one day to catch recordings (hoping there’s a grace period for flubs by Twitter newbies)

@HarmitMalik @GeneticsGSA @RusanLab @MArbeitman @TanentzapfLab Available in app only April 22, 2021. Get ‘em while they’re hot! The science is sizzling at #Dros21

Anyone know how long the recorded #dros21 talks will be available until? @GeneticsGSA @RusanLab @KigerLabUCSD @MArbeitman @TanentzapfLab

@InesMARibeiro Thanks, Inês! Excited to ‘see’ you pop up in Q&A. It’s a bit like going to conference blindfolded to see who is here, but maybe once I figure out Twitter... Looking forward to your awesome work on poster 637A LOV-based light-gated expression system

My debut on Twitter! Excited #Dros21 has launched and to be amongst inspiring flyologists

@JeanlabUdes @SonyaNassari Looking forward to her talk! Great job organizing and chairing the session today, Dr. Jean. The Jean Lab is blowing up!

For those attending #Dros21, please make some time to listen to @SonyaNassari and her new work on Rab and mitochondria! There are also tons of great talks in the organelle regulation and function session! ativsoftware.com/appinfo.php?pa… #DROS21
