S. album was the more drought tolerant species under the conditions of this experiment, gaining at least as much carbon and using water more efficiently at VWC below 0.08 m3 m−3.
The popularity of The Quatermass Experiment gained the attention of the film industry, and Hammer Film Productions quickly purchased the rights to make an adaptation.
The tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki were observed and the experiment gained approval from the University of Bradford's Committee for Ethics in Research.
Frogs that became infected during the experiment gained slightly, but not significantly, less mass than frogs that remained uninfected (Independent t-test, t51 = −0.401, P = 0.690).
Additionally, larvae used in this experiment gained more mass when fed pellets with high T. ramosissima introgression (F1,28.9 = 8.0, P < 0.01; Fig. 4B), confirming the low resistance of these plant genotypes.
Such experiments gain importance in order to identify engine operation conditions and/or diesel fuel compositions, which produce more reactive soot, which is easier to oxidise.
Accordingly, the test protocol used in the follow-up experiment (Experiment 1B) included some modifications reflecting the experience gained in Experiment 1A.
"I would absolutely recommend the course," says Wutz. "Scientists are always focused on experiments, gaining knowledge, but there is the human side that you need to be exposed to early on".
There was the same sense of personal transformation, learning new things, experimenting, gaining personal power, within a band of brothers and sisters, of being successful -- an overlooked ingredient of any genuine transformation -- and of being on the right side in the war of competition.
When a scientist performs an experiment to gain objective data, that, too, is an experience.
