Degree in Genetics and Molecular Biology honoris causa Awarded to Dan L. Lindsley


	On behalf of our Drosophila colleagues at the University of Rome, FlyBase is delighted to announce that on July 2nd 2007 the University of Rome "La Sapienza" will confer on Dan L. Lindsley a degree in Genetics and Molecular Biology honoris causa. The ceremony will take place in the Aula Magna of "La Sapienza" at 10:30 am. As many of you know Dan's tireless efforts in the production of the Red Books laid the ground-work for what you now see on the www as FlyBase. However Dan's contributions go well beyond this community effort and include seminal contributions to the field of chromosome mechanics and our understanding of the genetic regulation of meiosis and male fertility to name but three. We at FlyBase offer Dan our heartfelt congratulations on this very well deserved honor.
