Dear colleagues,

Due to the ongoing safety and logistical uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the 62nd Annual Drosophila Research Conference will be held in a virtual format in 2021.
Although we are all disappointed to miss each other in person next year, we are planning new approaches to enhance interactivity, enrich the conference experience, and make this a fly meeting to remember!
We apologize for any inconvenience in the change in format, but we are excited to see what the fly community spirit can achieve in 2021!

Sincerely,

Mariana Wolfner
President, Drosophila Board

Nasser Rusan, Co-Chair
