Nature also built a connectome homepage: The FlyWire connectome: neuronal wiring diagram of a complete fly brain and has released a News & Views and Editorial on the collection.

The paper package has been covered in The New York Times, The Guardian, and many other media outlets. I hear there is a Polish outlet working on a feature of Krzystztof :slight_smile:

None of this would be possible without you, the amazing FlyWire community. Thank you for being a part of FlyWire. Together we have demonstrated the power of massively open collaborative science and pushed forward the field of biology and made another big leap forward for citizen science!

For those of you who love digital print, please note that all the digital papers are Open Access which means there is no “paywall” for those publications and anyone can view those papers. So you can freely share the papers you were authors on with your friends and family.

You are also welcome to “Download the PDF” version of these papers for free and print them on your own :slight_smile:

Just wanted to say, you’re not alone with anxiety disorder here. <3 I have generalized anxiety disorder as well, and Eyewire/Flywire have been so impactful for me on my mental health too.

I admire how much you’ve been able to accomplish for the projects, and I’m so happy to see you sharing that story with the world!
