The Cambridge Fly Club is an initiative aiming to unite all Drosophila scientists in Cambridge (UK). It brings together scientists from around 30 research groups from world leading institutes and departments in Cambridge.
We express gratitude to both the speakers (Dr Dmitry Nashchekin and Dr Erik Clark), our sponsors (@dmmjournal.bsky.social and @biologists.bsky.social), for their generous support, the attendees, and the @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social for providing us with the space to host the talks.
