About freezing C. elegans: the procedures look good to me. Are you going to
try to measure the concentration of glycerol in the roundworms?

If you write this up as a scientific paper you may be interested to know that
a new scientific journal is now being formed, called NEUROCRYOBIOLOGY. The
possibility of using C. elegans as a test for memory would be interesting.
(I know from your proposal that you only want to test for survival, but IF
you get survival, MEMORY ought to be next).

Good luck.
			Best and a long long life,
