Update from #EDRC2025! Four days of amazing talks and poster sessions and JEDIs have reconnected across geographical boundaries. Dinner was fun and we are looking forward to everyone at the next #Drosophila conference!

Dear JEDIs,
as we are self-organizing using the #EDRC as a nucleator we decided it is time for a JEDI database to boost our network! If you identify as a JEDI, please contact us here or send a mail to katja.rust@uni-marburg.de to be added to our database.

Was a great pleasure to co-organise with @drosostalis.bsky.social @nkonst4.bsky.social @ksiudeja.bsky.social @linneweberlab.bsky.social
Let's try to further the build and amplify that network!

We want to thank everyone who attended this year's #Drosophila JEDI meeting at Château du Feÿ! Three days of amazing talks, great ideas and chat at the camp fire. We are looking forward to meeting everyone again at the next meeting!

Good food, nice venue, exceptional company and fantastic science. Food for body, soul and mind. My impression is that's the chemistry of a good flyJEDI meeting @fly-jedi.bsky.social

Apparently we do not have a JEDI starter pack yet.

The problem of unreasonable demands for more experiments came up at @fly-jedi.bsky.social (and many recent meetings).

And remember the editors response: we ask for these because _you_ demand them as referees…
This would be a great time for everyone to be cool when reviewing manuscripts and *not* request $25,000 worth of new experiments that don’t substantially advance or validate the study...

Enjoying excellent talks from JEDIs at the Château where birds are singing outside the lecture hall (more like a tent) and we got visited by a dog and a fox plus many bumblebees!
