Does cell cycle play a role in the random generation of neurons in fruit flies
Delaware County Institute of Science · Media, PA
A free public science lecture at the Delaware County Institute of Science where speaker Hannah Marr examines whether the cell cycle shapes how fruit fly neural stem cells randomly generate their many types of neurons, offered in person and via Zoom.
Expect an intimate, community-style evening: doors open at 7:00 p.m. for a 7:30 p.m. talk delivered in the institute's historic lecture hall, surrounded by its old-school natural history collections. The presentation will likely translate Drosophila neurogenesis research — how dividing neural stem cells cycle through temporal stages that determine what neurons their daughter cells become — into an accessible talk for a general audience, followed by questions and conversation with fellow science-curious neighbors. If you can't attend onsite, a Zoom option lets you join remotely.
