We were happy to host some local high school students to learn about what we do in our lab! Students got to sort flies based on sex, eye color, and wing shape, use a microscope to view dissected brains and VNCs, examine some of our behavioral equipment, and view some immunohistochemical images from the confocal microscope. They were seriously amazed that the same fruit flies they had fought at home could be used for such a wide array of investigations and discoveries.
