DESCRIPTION:\nThe dynamics of bacteria in a petri dish can be investigated
  through a judicious placement of masks to stop lethal ultraviolet radiati
 on from destroying the bacteria while they move about as described by the 
 Fisher equation. A two-mask scenario and a simple but exact theory are pre
 sented\, capable of probing the validity of the Fisher equation and reveal
 ing the values of its dynamic parameters.\n&nbsp\;\nV. M. Kenkre and M. Ku
