“A team from the University of Tokyo has genetically engineered a mouse that does not fear cats. By tweaking genes to disable certain functions of the olfactory bulb (the area of the brain that receives information about smells directly from olfactory receptors in the nose) the researchers were able to create a ‘fearless’ mouse that does not try to flee when it smells cats, foxes and other predators.
Dễ òm. Muốn làm cho Tám Khỏe không sợ xe đụng, cho hắn … nhậu ba xị đế. Việc quái gì phải “genetically engineer” cái gì.
Không liên quan gì, có bài trên tờ Time về Ieng Sary và Ieng Thirith:
Daughters of a judge and among the country’s first female intellectuals, Ponnary and Thirith were sent to study in Paris in the 1950s where they met and later married two other Cambodian students — creating a foursome that went on to form the nucleus of one of the world’s most brutal regimes.

As court and police officers prepared the Iengs for the drive to the tribunal’s detention center on the outskirts of Phnom Penh Monday, neighbors came out to wish them good riddance. “They killed many people and they must be prosecuted,” says Pouk Salonn, 57, the owner of a small shop near the Iengs’ villa who lost her parents during the regime. But with the passage of some 30 years since the Khmer Rouge regime committed its crimes, the arrest of the elderly pair — Sary is 82 and Thirith is 75 — was little consolation. “Why are you only coming to ask questions now?” she asks, noting that there seemed to be more media attention on Pol Pot’s terrifying reign now than there was when he was actually in power. “[The regime] was a long time ago already.”
