So many great posters at #dros21 but poster sessions are impossible to replicate and I miss them. I may need to be physically removed from the poster session at the next in person meeting I attend.

No better way to spend the day than at #dros21. Head over to the Physiology across scales session I helped organize with @singingshoes21 Michelle Bland, @Drea_Drby and @ArmstrongFlyLab. RNA splicing, cell contacts, Blood Brain Barrier - it's all there.
