Excited to see everyone at the Fly mtg next week!
For anyone who will be at the upcoming GSA fly meeting and is interested in learning more about using Drosophila and CUREs - please reach out!
In 2012 I started the Fly-CURE at UDM which is now taught at over 30 institutions mapping and characterizing novel Drosophila mutants in the undergraduate classroom.
We are still recruiting new faculty to join this project! Please share and reach out!

Looking forward to reading this book from Bing! Modeling complex human traits is why I love using flies as model!
LSI and @umcdb.bsky.social Professor Bing Ye has edited and co-authored a new book on the variety of model systems available for studying #DownSyndrome. Read what he has to say about the motivation behind the book and what he hopes this resource will bring to the field:

Being chair makes it much harder to stay connected in the lab. Very proud of the progress my students made this semester despite me being largely absent or pulled in other directions!
