    What happens to the eggs that are laid in the petri dish during the videos?

    That's actually a really interesting question.

    Do the scientists let them hatch into new test subjects?

    We use separate plates for maintaining the worm cultures. The eggs that are laid during tracking aren't used for subsequent experiments.

    Aww, all their laying work is going for nothing!

    ... well, except, of course, helping us do science. They're definitely doing that! 😃
