How to harvest 60,000 fly heads quickly: with liquid nitrogen and a set of sieves. Ingenious! By @Joshdubnau #Drosophila
@Joshdubnau It's like the joke about a math problem presented to kids, given a basket with 36,000 eggs, how many dozens are there, and the answer a kid gives is "impossible because of the ones at the bottom".
@albertcardona full disclosure: I didn’t invent the method, but happily used it
@Joshdubnau Now we are left with learning about how does one bread, and capture without squashing them, 60,000 vinegar flies ...
