Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to join the forthcoming
the 8th Japanese Drosophila Research Conference (JDRC8), 
to be held at Awaji-Island near Kobe in Japan 
from July 2 to July 4, 2007. 

The meeting is open to anyone working in or interested in Drosophila, 
and we encourage both Japanese and non-Japanese scientists
(especially young researchers, including graduate students) 
to present their work at the meeting.

This year we will feature:
1) a plenary talk by Andrew Clark on the "12 Drosophila genomes" project
2) a symposium on biological diversity 
3) a workshop for live imaging. 
Please take a look at the meeting website

from the "accommodation and access"page of the website,

Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Best wishes,
