Drosophila DEAD

Apparently, I didn't put enough yeast, and my Drosphila offspring starved to death. I was supposed to kill them, but they died on me. lol. It was awfully hard to take the dead flies out, as many of them were stuck to the agar medium. I had to scoop them up with the agar, and it was all sticky and difficult to separate. Furthermore, my Drosophilla were undersized. Guess they were malnutritioned. Who was that who told me, just a little yeast will do the job?!

Nevertheless, all I had to do was to count the number or males and females, so no essential data was lost.

Someone seemed to have changed a little. It's becoming quite nice being around this changed person. Thumbs up!
