#DROS26 #FlyForward

We appreciate that the award to the FlyBase Developer Team also recognized our support staff, including system administrators, administrative support, and program director.
The 2026 Drosophila Community Service Award was presented earlier this month at #DROS26.
This year's recipients were the REDFly Database Team and the FlyBase Developer Team, for their roles in the development of online repositories for the dissemination of Drosophila data.
