A Blog about Mice: In the lab, in the wild, and in our lives. Friday, April 18, 2008. If you are a fan of the Tour de France. Bicycle race, you know all about EPO, or erythropoietin.

Since the red blood cells carry oxygen, more red blood cells mean more oxygen available to the muscle, which in turn means improved athletic performance. EPO is part of a long history of doping.

The Sminthophile: The evolution of evolution
http://sminthophile.blogspot.com/2009/02/evolution-of-evolution.html
A Blog about Mice: In the lab, in the wild, and in our lives. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. The evolution of evolution. OK, so I'm a little behind the times. I wanted to wish Charles Darwin. A happy birthday last week, but life got in the way. While we extol the virtues of Darwin and his theory of evolution, I want to talk a little bit about another theory of evolution, that of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. The more recent field of epigenetics. And The Journal of Neuroscience. Juggling mouse courtesy of.

The Sminthophile: August 2008
http://sminthophile.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
A Blog about Mice: In the lab, in the wild, and in our lives. Wednesday, August 27, 2008. The language of adolescent mice. Different inbred strains of laboratory mice interact differently, suggesting a role for genetics in social behavior. They may also speak a different language. The investigators analyzed the mouse vocalizations, even the ones too high for the human ear to detect. (Remember the singing mice. I wonder if everything the BALB/c mice had to say sounded like a question. Links to this post.

One of those scientists, Osamu Shimomura, writes here. About the early days of that research, cutting up jellyfish and extracting the protein. Links to this post.
