We did an experiment about The Effect of Ecdysteroid on Drosophila melanogaster's pupal rate. This experiment kinda tricky at first, especially we need to figure out what kind of data do we want to use and type of statistical analysis we need to apply.
Our group kinda messed up since the beginning because we never appointed a leader for our group...so semua ikut kepala masing masing. Proposal for the experiment pun cam tak detail and banyak hole. I told them to emphasized on detailed time frame and to know the effective minimum concentration of the ecdysteroid and the effective procedure to apply them....but NOOOOO!!! They won't listen. Our proposal pun dapat 57% which is very unacceptable to me, siap supervisor bagi alot of angry comments lagi (some of his comments tak masuk akal pun)...
During the preparation of the experiment...hah!!, hahaha...
To make things simple...we screwed up the entire experiment and ANOVA test shows that our data has 'no significant different' between each samples...FUCK!!! Wasting my time and effort je. Now we need to write a report about how fucked up our results were and why they need to listen to me next time, ahha (ego gila), but I was right though...
All those months work turned to curd.
For the record, we were randomly assigned to each group...so leceh gak dapat orang susah nak berkerjasama.Actually there should be a significant different, this means that our concentrations of the hormone were too low, below the effective minimum amount, or probably the the hot molten agar destroyed the hormone sebab depa buh hormone dalam food source larva tu - I proposed to individually inject the hormone directly into the larvae during 3rd instar, tapi depa tak mau.
Ok, I think I finished digressing here...
