| May 24, 2012 at 16:21 | comment | added | ODP | Yes I'm still at school, I'm 16. I'm well aware of the length of time it would take and why would you need to be a famous scientist? Also, if Elder and Lenski gave reasons for wanting invested money (if they did at all), I'm sure I could give the same reasons. But yes, overall, rather discouraging | |

| May 23, 2012 at 19:48 | comment | added | Armatus | I'm not aware of what experiment they carried out there so I wrote my answer trying to stay on the safe side, assuming that it was a full-out scientific project :) Of course, experimenting is well possible on a small scale especially with these little ones. | |
| May 23, 2012 at 19:10 | comment | added | Marta Cz-C | Quite discouraging. As far as I know one don't need very expensive equipment to experiment with natural selection (especially among fruit fly!). Creativity and a lot of patience would be much more needed. | |
