A sophisticated poem for our Valentine's crushes, zebrafish & fruit flies — two small-but-mighty model organisms critical to basic science. Fast to reproduce, genetically similar to humans, & key to potential breakthroughs in understanding development & disease. What's not to love?! 💘

These dazzling neurons belong to a fruit fly. Confocal microscopy images of them were taken & combined by researchers at our Janelia Research Campus like pieces of a puzzle to build a rough map of the ventral nerve cord, which coordinates walking, flying, & reflex.
