We had a very interesting discussion on the Mango tree model system.
Kiran was talking about her survey of Mango trees in Moradabad.
We got to know from her that Mango trees flower in the season of Holi there in Moradabad which means that Mango trees flower by the end of March.
Kiran said this based on what she got to know from the local people of Moradabad.
We then reached a question as in whatâs the difference between what a scientist says and what a local says in this situation.
@Sumit answered this question by saying that scientists record observations and @â¨PRASHANT_PALANE⊠added about analysis of these observations.
Locals put forth statements based on their experience.
We then developed a methodology by placing ourselves in the position of a scientist.
The HYPOTHESIS being, âMango trees start flowering in the last week of March in Moradabadâ
How would a scientist prove this hypothesis based on what was put forth by the locals?
How do we survey?
How do we develop methods for doing a survey or doing research?
What is a sample? What is a population? On what basis or on what criteria do we select samples from a population?
Is taking sample important in research? Whatâs an exhaustive data collection?
We asked these questions in 2 different cases. One was in the initial context which is about the mango 
trees.
The other case was the olfactory assay of fruit flies.
So, in short, research methodology in context to 2 model systems was discussed!
