The Drosophila Species Workshop runs from 26-30 October in San Diego.  

The lab has gotten funding to do population genetics on some aquatic insects as part of a larger project trying to understand how climate change will impact species in California.  This proposal is funded through Berkeley's Initiative in Global Change Biology (BIGCB).  Partner labs include Vince Resh, Mary Power and Jonathon Stillman.  More information can be found here: http://ib.berkeley.edu/labs/globalchange/index.html
