CUBE Chatshaala on 23rd August 2020.
Circadian rhythm studies done by Kshipra, a CUBist from Jharkhand. She summarizes her work done which she started on 13th August at 1pm by keeping some tomato pieces on a sheet of paper and observing & noting down the number of flies she gets at every 2 hour interval.
Activities of fruit flies expected to see by Kshipra during this study were feeding, courtship behaviour, egg laying, mating and defecation.
@drishtantmkawale summarizes:
This image from the whiteboard looks like an image having mixed emotions!
All of this started with discussing the sleep-wake pattern of fruit flies and later an attempt was made to plot a graph of the same. But some basic questions like how is a graph plotted, why is there a need for a graph to be plotted? arose which pushed us towards a much-needed diversion from the original topic. The next thing which was discussed was the graph of microbial growth curve. We have a petriplate (with some bacterial colonies in it) which was taken as a reference to depict the different phases of the curve. Many keywords (sometimes, jargons) surfaced, which were broken down/simplified so that we come up with an understandable theory.
35 CUBists from 31 centres joined the webinar.
