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 influences how fruit fly brains randomly generate their neurons.
Expect an intimate evening lecture in the institute's upstairs Lecture Hall, doors at 7:00 p.m. with the talk starting at 7:30, surrounded by the venue's old-school natural history exhibits. The presentation will likely walk through Drosophila developmental neurobiology — how neural stem cells divide and produce diverse neurons through temporal patterning and Notch signaling — at a level accessible to a curious general audience, probably with time for questions. A Zoom option means you can also attend remotely if you can't get to Media.
