## Outreach

[Pueblo Brain Science](https://www.pueblobrainscience.org/)  
A program at the University of New Mexico led by Syed “FlyGuy” that
builds diversity in neuroscience through undergraduate research
training, mentoring, and annual workshops using fruit flies and
3D-printed tools. It also provides science outreach to Pueblo and Navajo
communities and engages high school students across New Mexico.

## Connectomics

[neuPrint](https://www.neuprint.janelia.org/)  
A powerful platform for querying large-scale neural circuit
reconstructions. Key datasets include the optic lobe, mushroom body,
male VNC, and hemibrain, among others.

[FlyWire Academy](https://codex.flywire.ai/academy_home/)  
FlyWire Academy provides connectomics lessons designed for educators and
scientists doing outreach at the high school and college level.

[Virtual Fly Brain](https://virtualflybrain.org/)  
Virtual Fly Brain (VFB) is an interactive tool for exploring the
neuroanatomy, connectivity, and gene expression of *Drosophila
melanogaster*. It integrates published neuroanatomical data and image
datasets onto a common brain template, enabling cross-searches and 3D
comparison of neurons.

[natverse](https://natverse.org/)  
The natverse is a collection of interoperable R packages to import,
visualise, analyse, manipulate, and export 3D neuroanatomical data,
including neurons, brains, and brain regions. It has been used to study
brain and circuit organisation in species from flies to fish and mice.

## Working with *Drosophila*
