From The Weekly Show with Darius Balčiūnas: How bad has the obesity epidemic become in the US? So bad that even rats need gastric bypasses!

Quite interesting findings though
A different kind of genetic testing:

Cool stuff in a moldy way:

If you wish to complain that zebrafish breeding and regeneration take a long time, how about this project:

Check out the rosy outlook for life sciences PhDs in the end of paragraph one:

Another bit of information can be extracted from their data :
-14,500 PhDs are awarded in life/med sciences annually
- there are 10,500 postdocs in a given year (I guess this number is an underestimate)
- average postdoc length is 5 years (my conservative guess, really 6-7) = only 1 in 7 new PhDs can get a postdoc position?!
Now that I got all of you feeling sad and down, how about some fun:
