Develop a test to check if your students are white or not.

hmmm

last bastion of european genes, enjoy your refugees and niggers

I did a first year elective biology class in uni where we bred mutant drosophila.

We were all given set amounts of mutants and normie flies in little specimen jars (with gauze covered holes for ventiliation) that contained little discs of food.

After a certain number of labs( I think one or two generations of the flies had been born) we euthanised them then counted out the proportion of mutants.

It was interesting I guess, and apart from a few escapes when people went to euthanise them it went of without a hitch.

I can't imagine it would have been too expensive.

yeah thats exactly what we do hence, the large amount of flies we have.
My idea was to obtain homeotic mutants like pic related, but couldnt find any papers or info on how to achieve this easily

Maybe them culture e. coli from your own feces.

very nice

That's what I call shitposting

Make them clone a GFP gene into a plasmid, insert that into E. coli. Let them grow some cells. Watch the fluorescence under UV.
It's simple stuff that should work without any problems but is rather fascinating for beginners. They can see results of their experiments in a few days already.

>>7677808

Are you white?

>>7681549

This is a great idea. You could even let them play with GFP mutants that fluoresce different colors from the canonical sequence.

Have them stick their unwashed hands in agar and see what grows.

yes, russian and french ancestors
>>7681549
thats to advanced for general biology, we do that later on in other courses
>>7681790
already doing this

maybe I'm asking for a little bit much, I mean we've got like 5 lab sessions we do the same every year probably for a reason, innovating may be a little bit hard...

let them do a plasmid prep and then digest the plasmid with an restriction enzyme or two, and then visualize all three forms on a gel

Isolate bioluminescent organisms from rotten fish by using autoclaved sea-water agar.

It's the experiment with the best cost-to-awesomeness ratio.

>>7683777
ooooh I really liked this one, care to expand a little? which part of the rotten fish? any fish?

>>7684361
Agar preperation: Get sea-water. Filter it. Add agar and acetat as substrate. Autoclave it. Make plates.


Go to the beach. Look for a dead fish. The fish should be dead for one or two days. Take parts of gills and put them into PBS (or autoclaved sea-water). Plate the mixture in different concentrations. Incubate the plates at roomtemperature.
Your students can try various conditions: Acetat concentrations, parts of the fish, incubation temperature...

nice, will try to implement this, only problem is distance to sea

>>7684881
That's no problem. There are some protocol on the internet to isolate it from squids from the market. They also have medium without seawater.
