Reminder: Brian Calvi's FlyBase talk is TOMORROW, March 7, at 7:30-7:45 pm in Room Sheraton/Chicago 4-7 #DROS26

#DROS26 starts tomorrow! Sadly, most of FlyBase will not be there this year. Brian Calvi, our Indiana University PI, will be speaking on "FlyBase: Past, Present, and Future" during the Techniques and Technology workshop (Sat. 3/7 7:30-7:45, Room Sheraton/Chicago 4-7).
Fly peeps: I can't attend #Dros26. Could someone grab a couple of this year's gorgeous Genesee Scientific Drosophila art postcards for me?
