Oh.

So it was something about this environment that really meant that bigger cells were beneficial, and people have studied that a lot, and it's not entirely actually understood it or intuitive why this might be the case.
37:32
It changes the surface area to the kind of volume ratio, some of these things.
37:37
It might mean they're able to take up the glucose more rapidly.
37:40
Because it's not actually about how fast you grow, it's about how much you, you use the glucose before anybody else can use the glucose, is the real competition that's going on.
37:48
So even forming fewer cells but using more of the glucose has kind of been beneficial over time.
37:53
But the other thing they could measure was this fitness over time quantitatively.
