The Boston Area Drosophila Meeting is open to anyone working on fruit flies in the New England region. Our hope is to occasionally bring together Drosophila researchers from different institutions to share their latest findings and expertise. We invite faculty, post-docs, students and technicians to give presentations in a friendly atmosphere with a hope to encourage collaborations between different labs and institutions.
