The Genetics Society of Canada takes a flight with Drosophila to celebrate its 50th year.
The Genetics Society of Canada (GSC) held its 50th Anniversary Celebration June 18-21, 2007 in the New Residence Hall of McGill University in Montreal in conjunction with the 9(th) Canadian Drosophila Research Conference (CanFly), which is held in odd-numbered years. The meeting was a huge success with nearly 200 participants, and outstanding research presentations from all parts of Canada and beyond. The Canadian Drosophila research community is very vibrant: there are approximately 50 research labs in the country that work entirely or mostly in the Drosophila system, and a search of FlyBase for Canadian addresses yields a total of 248.
