I don't believe Cat sent the raw data, but sent summaries by email:

4/1/10

  I just finished another set of trials with David Gold on the Aurelia polyps.  The data looks
  really encouraging and I hope to be done soon.  There is a trend that the polyps fire more 
  nematocytes at lower light levels.  The data needed to be log transformed to match the assumptions 
  of normality; some animals fired in excess of 300 nematocytes!

4/5/10

  Testing for the Aurelia is done!!!  I did 20 trials for each treatment, got skewed data and did a 
  log transformation.  Data was still not normal, so I did a Mann Witney-U test.  It was 
  signifigant!!!  Yay!!!!  P-value is, like, 0.0212!!!!  More on this later…
