#Estimate how much to dilute yeast so that the next morning the OD is 0.3.  For example, if the doubling time is 2.25h, then from 5 PM to 9 AM is 16h or 7.1 doublings, of 137 times the OD.  Therefore to get an OD of 0.3, you need to innoculate at 0.3/137 = 0.00219.

#For each flask innoculate several dilutions
#For each flask innoculate several dilutions.
#The next morning check OD of overnight cultures.  Cultures should be between 0.1 and 0.5
#Spin down cultures and resuspend to an OD of 3.0
#Make 10X serial dilutions of cultures and plate 1 uL of each dilution on YPD and YPD/Rapamycin Plates
#Grow plates at either 24 or 30C
