- Reposted by Junior European Drosophila InvestigatorsThere's an update on the state of FlyBase on the FlyBase.org front page. You can contribute to FlyBase at this link wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase... We express enormous gratitude to the people, labs, groups, and foundations who have already helped us. #FlyBase #Drosophila
- Hello everyone! We decided to automate our sign-up process for the JEDI network. Please register using this link: docs.google.com/forms/d/1IdO... Thanks to everyone who reached out! We are looking forward to building our community with you. Share and repost!!! #Drosophila @fly-eds.bsky.social
- 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. #Drosophila @fly-eds.bsky.social
- 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!

(and many thanks to @giorgio.gilest.ro for the transmission)
- 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!
- Reposted by Junior European Drosophila InvestigatorsGood 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
- Reposted by Junior European Drosophila InvestigatorsVery happy to be in the vibrant JEDI community and present my IMBB work, great science and fantastic people! @fly-eds.bsky.social @fly-jedi.bsky.social @scentinel.bsky.social and special thanks to the organizers!
- Reposted by Junior European Drosophila InvestigatorsApparently we do not have a JEDI starter pack yet. @fly-jedi.bsky.social and everyone else: let me know which other Junior European #Drosophila Investigators are missing! go.bsky.app/PcTGEMcat://did:plc:ubiizbza33jcoqy7gnbeeoeg/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lqwclmlea42h

- Reposted by Junior European Drosophila InvestigatorsThe 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…

- Reposted by Junior European Drosophila InvestigatorsSUSTAINABILITY & #DROSOPHILA - If you keep flies & have tried to re-use containers but then given up on it, please could you let us know & tell us the reasons? We urgently need statements for a publication about sustainability in fly labs. Please, contact Andreas.Prokop@manchester.ac.uk
- Gerit A. Linneweber talking about individuality in Drosophila
- Lok at all that energy. Don't you want to become a JEDI?!
- +o works better
- Reposted by Junior European Drosophila InvestigatorsDrosophila is a major model organism, and one of the most used resource for Drosophila data is in danger of disappearing because of budget cuts in the US.

- "how's that even remotely relevant to 'higher' organisms?!" Uh uh uh
- After dinner session, flies rock obviously
- First day of meeting going well and on schedule 😬
- Reposted by Junior European Drosophila InvestigatorsOh, several points - to integrate myself into the European Drosophila "ecosystem" - fruitfull contacts which will host (and make use of) my students for an Erasmus, and send student to me in exchange As for community building, for flyJEDi rituals would be good (and I hope there will be :)

- Reposted by Junior European Drosophila Investigatorsproposing one thing for now, I'd like to gather info relative to the struggles of starting a team (I'll stick to drosophila as other organisms have their own difficulties). If you're interested in sharing your own experience, send me an email and I'll send you the doc I'm using to compile those
- With the first IRL JEDI meeting in 8 years coming back in a month, an important question comes What would you like the return of the JEDIs to bring to the drosophila research community? (and also, don't forget to vote for your @fly-eds.bsky.social representatives)
