In the live chat you shared about the climbing experiment, where he fruit flies became hyperactive, that you conducted. If you were given the chance would you repeat the experiment? Do you think with your knowledge now that you would get a different outcome?

  Hey! Thanks for the question, it’s a great one. I did repeat the experiment, which is very important in science if you want to trust your result. The flies were definitely hyperactive, which was am exciting and very interesting result. I would have loved to have the chance to explore more about what was happening inside the fly to make them hyperactive, for example I could look at their muscles and nerve cells under the microscope, and see if they look any different to normal flies. Hope this answers your question!
