We've assembled the first draft of a #FlyLabList wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBas…, aiming to include all labs doing Drosophila (any species) research. Our goal is to help our colleagues find Fly Labs in particular geographical locations & to gain an accurate number of Fly Labs worldwide.

Got thoughts on the Alliance? Share them with us by taking the 2023 Alliance User Survey! We've added a question this year especially for our model organism database users; if that's you, give us your thoughts! Survey: surveymonkey.com/r/6H63GDB (link is on every Alliance page).

I designed another #LEGO set inspired by the "model" organisms of biological research!
This time, it's the tiny but mighty fruit fly #Drosophila melanogaster, which researchers have used to study all manner of biological processes.
