This artwork visualises the European Drosophila Research Conference, which brings together researchers working on the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Drosophila melanogaster's is yellow-brown in colour, with red eyes and black stripes on its thorax. The fruit fly's translucent wings allow it to fly with great agility. Despite its small size, Drosophila has been studied for over a century and has contributed to our understanding of genetics, neuroscience, and developmental biology.
