The students selected groups based on their interests and currently have two groups:
Earthworm and Drosophila melanogaster. The earthworm group will be working on regeneration in earthworm and ventral nerve cord regeneration while the Drosophila group will be working on the olfactory assay.

We’ll be buying moinas from a nearby aquarium store. We’ll be producing red moina from colourless moina to understand epigenetics.
