We invite fly scientists from all disciplines to share their research at the Midwest Drosophila Conference on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 18 and 19, 2025.
Our meeting promotes interactions among PIs, students, and postdocs. It's a great opportunity for students and postdocs to give talks alongside senior researchers. Prizes will be awarded for the best talks, posters, and fly art.
Registration is closed.
After an amazing turnout last year, we're holding the fly art contest again this year!
All work MUST be your own. A panel of judges will select the best art, and a Fan Favorite will be decided live at the meeting. There will be prizes!
We will have two categories this year: 1) Microscopy — can be from any type of microscope (ie. confocal, spinning disc, stereoscope); 2) Artwork — drawings, paintings, sculpture, etc.
