Fly Meeting Report
Introduction
This virtual conference covered diverse biology topics ranging from developmental concepts, cellular and molecular mechanisms, neuroscience pathologies, and even biomedical aspects that could lead to new developments in prospective clinical treatments. Undergraduate and graduate students were given the opportunity to listen, observe, and learn from the researchers that had made biological discoveries/advancements, and a select few were even given the opportunity to speak and present research that they conducted themselves. Other attendees included postdocs, faculty, and principal investigators. The purpose of this conference was to update the science community on new discoveries from research conducted on the Drosophila melanogaster, as well as provide learning experiences about the research side of the STEM field.
