Introduction: David Bilder 2. Report of the 2015 Meeting Organizing Committee: Susan Celniker, Nancy Bonini, David Bilder and Ross Cagan The 2016 Organizing Committee was assembled in 2013. Susan Celniker was recruited by Ken Irvine and Amy Bejsovic, current and past Board Presidents, respectively to be the lead organizer under advice from Suzy Brown of the GSA to have an experienced Committee Organizer for this exceptional Genetic Conference that encompasses not only the Drosophila community but communities that study Ciliates, Yeast, Zebrafish, Mouse, Worm and Population, Evolutionary and Quantitative Genetics. Sue subsequently recruited Nancy Bonini and together they recruited David Bilder and Ross Cagan. Both Sue and Nancy were organizers for the 49th Drosophila Annual Research Conference in 2004. We began organizing the 2016 meeting almost immediately interfacing with the “uber” organizers Jeannie Lee and Philip Hieter and the co-organizers from the other model organism communities. We selected cross-organism keynote speakers and with this exception coordinated the Drosophila meeting as in earlier years selecting individuals for the historical panel, as keynote speakers and as platform session chairs. Most of our work was done sharing information by email. Given that all of our interactions occurred remotely, there was no particular advantage to having all of the organizers situated in one geographical region. What is advantageous is to select a group of co-organizers with diverse scientific expertise, as this makes the task of identifying appropriate speakers and session chairs much easier. Overall, meeting organization progressed smoothly. Most decisions were made by consensus, although some tasks were assumed by, or delegated to, individual members. Continual guidance and input from Suzy Brown was invaluable, and the entire GSA staff did an outstanding job. 3 Interaction with the GSA Office. Suzy Brown, and by extension the whole GSA office, was terrific to work with. The timeline and reminders that Suzy sent us were very useful. Suzy was very helpful in answering all questions that arose and provided invaluable continuity with her knowledge of the workings of previous meetings. 2016 fly meeting registrations and registration trends. Pre-registration for the 2016 fly meeting is lower than our traditional meetings, with 997 pre-registrants as of June 1, 2016. A comparison to previous years meetings and to other GSA meetings is shown below. For historical comparison, earlier fly meeting pre-registrations were: 1517 (2015), 1431 (2014), 1555 (2013), 1537 (2012), 1328 (2011), 1516 (2010), 1383 (2009), 1343 (2008), 1345 (2007), 1241(2006), 1451 (2005) and1470 (2004) At the 2015 Drosophila Board meeting, concern was voiced that the change in time (July) and location (Orlando) might reduce participation and this appears to be true. In particular, there are many competing conferences during the summer (Gordon conferences for example), that likely also contributed to reduced attendance at the fly conference. Organizer, speaker and special awards compensation. Unlike previous years, where the meeting organizers, plenary speakers, and keynote speakers were provided free conference registration, this year the budget covered only the plenary speakers with free conference registration. Each organism was given registration and travel funds for three individuals and we used the budget to cover the conference registration for our plenary speakers. Everyone had to cover their lodging and travel costs. There were several inquires about registration and travel funds from some of the speakers and session chairs, but in the end everyone agreed to fund their own way. The Larry Sandler Award Winner receives complementary airfare, registration, hotel accommodations, and GSA membership. Victoria Finnerty Memorial Fund travel grants were awarded to 8 undergraduate researchers, all of whom are presenting posters (see names below). Conference Sessions. As in recent years, only the schedule and lists of talks and posters are in the program book. The abstracts are available online. Historical Panel Session, Wednesday night. The 2016 fly meeting will follow the traditional program on the first night, with introductions, announcements from GSA, the Sandler lecture and finally the historical panel discussion “Discovery of the Homeobox”. The organizers invited Drs. Matt Scott, Michael Levine and William McGinnis to participate in the panel with Dr. Cassandra Extavour as the panel moderator. Plenary Speakers. As in previous years, our criteria for choosing plenary speakers were scientific importance and novelty, breadth of topics, gender balance, foreign and domestic speakers, and a mixture of junior and senior faculty. In addition, we only selected speakers that we have recently heard and are confident that they will give excellent talks. Any speaker that had given a plenary talk within the last 10 years was excluded from consideration. The plenary speakers will be (in order of the program): Pamela Geyer (University of Iowa), Artyom Kopp (UC, Davis). Pierre Léopold (Institut Valrose Biologie), Ingrid Lohmann (Heidelberg University), Adam Martin (MIT), Duojia (DJ) Pan (Johns Hopkins School of Medicine), Iris Salecker (Francis Crick Institute) and Annette Schenck (Radboud University Medical Center) Categories for the abstracts, platform and poster sessions.

Mapping the roughly one hundred trillion synaptic connections of a human brain would by some estimates generate on the order of a zettabyte of data (a zettabyte over years of observation, Hubble reported corresponds to one million petabytes).

  • All the World's a Stage
    18 Marta Zlatic is as capable of portraying the Greek heroine Hecuba as she is of pulling back the curtain on the neural circuitry of fruit fly larvae. At both pursuits, she’s won wide acclaim. All the World’s a Stage by sarah goforth 19 photography by eli meir kaplan 20 Spring 2015 / HHMI Bulletin at Janelia and around the world, is building something akin to Google Maps for the larval brain, placing these layers of information on top of each other like satellite images overlaid on roadways. They are now beginning to outline, with neuron-by-neuron precision, the neural circuits that determine how a larva responds to its environment and decides what actions to take. It is no frivolous exercise. “We can look at this much simpler system, and its smaller range of behaviors, and see that many of the things we learn are the same across species,” Zlatic explains. For example, Drosophila larvae have the same sensory modalities as most animals – sound, light, odor, touch, and heat. Furthermore, they’re able to process this information, remember it, and make decisions based on it. How does a nervous system make behavioral choices based on previous experience and a multitude of sensory inputs? What can understanding this simple system tell us about the human brain and our capacity for language, art, and the pursuit of knowledge? Zlatic wants to know the answers to those questions. By all accounts, her team is already taking steps toward constructing a model for a brain atlas – one goal of the multimillion-dollar BRAIN (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) Initiative that President Barack Obama announced in 2013.
