Group Luminescence started the improved experiment of fly. Flies were not active enough in the last experiment, so we decided to use the young flies 3 or 4 days old. | Group Luminescence started the improved experiment of fly.

Diary
Week1: Monday 1st - Sunday 7th August
Wednesday
Some members visited Todaiji-Gakuen high school(東大寺学園) to lecture about iGEM and our research. A lot of students participated in our lecture and they seemed to get interested in biochemistry and iGEM.
Thursday
Team luminescence started breeding flies. The flies(Drosophila Melanogaster) were provided by Professor Fuse.
Week2: Monday 8th - Sunday 14th August
Week3: Monday 15th - Sunday 21th August
Tuesday
Today, 16th of August, is a very important day for the people living in Kyoto, because the historical fire festival called 'Gozan-no-Okuribi' is held.
Wednesday
Rakunan high school is the second place we visited for the lecture of Human Practice. The number of the participants were small compared with the first lecture at Todaiji-Gakuen, but the students listened hard to our lecture.
Thursday
Group luminescence assembled the first experimental system to research the phototaxis of flies.
However, the response of flies was not clear and we could not get respectable results.
Week4: Monday 22th - Sunday 28th August
Tuesday
Group luminescence made improvements on the first experimental system, and assembled this Y-shaped maze. The behavior of fly was observed more easily than the first one.
Week5: Monday 29th August - Sunday 4th September
Monday
Today, the regular meeting of iGEM Japan was held at Kyoto University, our home. The participating universities are the University of Tokyo, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Osaka University, and us, Kyoto University. Each participants made presentation on the progress of their projects, and discussed each others animatedly.
Tuesday
The weekly meeting
Wednesday
Kusaba, leader of group luminescence, is looking for some good references about phototaxis of Drosophila and insects.
Week6: Monday 5th September - Sunday 11th September
Tuesday
Group Luminescence started the improved experiment of fly. Flies were not active enough in the last experiment, so we decided to use the young flies 3 or 4 days old.
On 18:30, the weekly meeting started. After we verified progress situation of each groups, discussed about the wiki editing.
Wednesday
This morning, adviser Kashima conducted a lecture about RT-PCR for the beginners. Thank you, Kashima-san(Mr.Kashima)!
Week7: Monday 12th September - Sunday 18th September
Monday
Our activity to promote iGEM as a part of Human Practice is not limited in Kansai area. Today, we visited Tokyo and lecutred at Hibiya high school.
Week8: Monday 19th September - Sunday 25th September
Week9: Monday 26th September - Sunday 2nd October
Saturday
I（Komatsu） and Kato visited rakusei high school.
I was glad that I could discuss about biochemistry and synthetic biology with their teacher. When I returned to my home, I realized that dead-line was gradually approaching, but there were so many thing we must do.
