530th Day of ChatShaala
Date: 31st Aug, 2021
My part of the summary: Yesterday’s discussion was based upon “Collaboration through Chat” where Aswathy from South India(Kerala) tried to guess the fate of a fruitfly transferred in North India(Jharkhand) by Man Masih. Man Masih transferred a single gravid fruitfly on 19th Aug, 2021, on a Tomato Rava Sugar Vinegar(TRSV) Medium. Aswathy estimated that 50 eggs would be laid by the transferred fruitfly in 24 hours. Although the first pupae appeared on 24th Aug, Aswathy calculated that on 23rd the first pupa might have appeared. This makes sense because it seems, 23rd was the 4th day from 19th Aug. Later it was disclosed by Man that gravid fly was transferred in the evening of 19th Aug which loosely makes 24th Aug as the 4th Day and not 23rd Aug.
*The fruitfly eggs take 4 days to turn into pupae which was calculated accurately by Aswathy
Later we discussed about the 3 mixed fruitfly culture bottles at Rechel’s Home Lab.
CUBE Collaborators who currently have fruitflies are: Aswathy, Yash, Man and Rechel
