Resources

 * Data from the field trip (microtubule gliding assays): http://openwetware.org/wiki/User:Steven_J._Koch/MTC/April_7_2011#Microtubule_data
 * Here are the movies: http://openwetware.org/wiki/User:Steven_J._Koch/MTC/April_19_2011/movies
 * Here are the raw images: http://kochlab.org/files/data/MechThermoCells/
 * Andy's dissertation for information and links about microtubules and gliding assays: http://openwetware.org/wiki/User:Andy_Maloney#Dissertation
 * FigShare

Goals

 * Gain some experience figuring out how to analyze image series data. Probably only qualitatively, but quantitatively if you're adventurous.
 * Learn how to upload a figure to FigShare.com -- Micropublishing for Science 2.0 !
 * Contribute to science with the neat & new result you produced.

Steps

 * 1) Create an account at Figshare.com
 * 2) Watch the two movies you created during the field trip last week
 * 3) Make observations (like Sheng has already done)
 * 4) Come up with a hypothesis for why this may have happened
 * 5) Create either an annotated image (snapshot from the movie or an original image(s)) or annotated movie.
 * 6) * Create a figure (or movie) legend that describes what the annotated image or movie (or figure) is showing
 * 7) Upload your figure / movie / image to Figshare.com.
 * 8) * The authors should be You and Andy Maloney. You can work in pairs but make sure both of you do substantial work.
 * 9) * Important Please help aggregate these figures on FigShare by doing two things:
 * 10) *# First, please link back to this page (and any other pages you see fit)
 * 11) *# Second, please add a common tag everyone can share (in addition to other tags you'd like to use). Let's use this tag:
 * 12) *# MTC2011Gliding
