Biotechnology is fun

Okay, maybe biotech is scary if I stop to think about it, but Baxter's Biotech Bargain Basement is a semi-entertaining little game. You have to build these cute little biotech creatures as fast as possible in your lab, or your customers will get mad.



Oooh, that reminds me of this Wired article I read the other day about how a geneticist used a "DNA antisense agent" to turn lazy monkeys into workaholics. It had something to do with blocking the dopamine receptors in their brains.



I know this kind of thing should freak me out (those poor monkeys), but seriously... anybody know how I can get in on that study? I have a lot of work, and it's not doing itself.
