@mdgarfinkel.bsky.socialWell, that's a new one!
I tried registering for the #Dros27 conference, just past midnight on 3 October 2026 (less than 48hr after early registration opened) and I got the most bizarre error message:
"Regular member (PI/Lab Tech) $628 — SOLD OUT."
How can that be @genetics-gsa.bsky.social?
@seyeonchung.bsky.socialAbstract submission is open for #Dros27! Topics include cell biology, development, stem cells, physiology, neuroscience, evolution, human disease models, and more. I can’t wait to see your science at this year’s fly meeting!
