Nearly 1500 Drosophilosophers descended upon the great city of Philadelphia last week to attend the 59th Annual Drosophila Research Conference, sponsored by the Genetics Society of America. A great time was had by all: our lab attended as observers and admirers of science. Many wonderful stories were told and scientific facts were shared. Thanks to the GSA for such a great meeting and a hearty to hello to all of our old and new friends met at the meeting!
