Singing Mice and Brain Chemistry
Shirlockc writes "The Public Library of Science has a research article on how male mice actually sing in the presence of females. They actually posted some of the audios adjusted for human ears as these songs are ultrasonic. The authors are comparing these warbles to bird songs. The songs are quite complex so do the mice learn them and/or improve on them? This can be a potential model for investigating how brain chemistry works during learning."
The female department part was a joke, maybe you could work on your social skills yourself, specifically the humor section.
I would rather that funded research of any kind was put into something a little more worth while, like trying figuring out how to cure a virus, there are no known cures for any viruses out there, we know how to treat them, how to make the person more comfortable, but we can't fix them. Maybe they work on some cures for cancer and AIDS.
Compared to that sort of research, this isn't exactly the most important research on the planet.

Attention, parent poster and anyone who agrees with him: please stop enjoying all the fruits of scientific research done by anyone, anywhere, ever. Shut off your computers, stop getting vaccinated, refuse to eat food obtained by any means other than hunting and gathering, and go off and live your nasty, brutish, and short lives in a cave somewhere while the rest of us enjoy life in the civilized world. Thank you.
The correlation between ignorance of statistics and using "correlation is not causation" as an argument is close to 1.
Is that book suppossed to be so great?
I generally stop reading comments when they contain gems like this early on. I don't feel any particular need to defend a book to someone whose commentary on it isn't in the same language as the book.
