A cool paper on mapping behavioral trait in sticklebacks

Shooling QTLs overlap lateral line QTLs. Validation or bummer?
Antihistamines are used to treat allergies, right?
http://www.pnas.org/content/110/46/E4369.full
One could use this fantastic paper to illustrate the power of genome-based medical discoveries, or to remind of potential side effects of drugs.
Now on to entertainment. Scientists going at each other MMA style #3: genetcists:

Dim the lights and read this romantic article about grad school:

Bait-and-switch selfie?
The good thing is, grad school is not forever:

And now on to classical tragicomedy. Here is a multiple choice question: what should you do when you get a C+?
A. Celebrate
B. Forget about it
C. Feel ashamed
D. Sue the professor

Associated Press could have mentioned that said student's other grades must have been "less than stellar" if a C+ put her under minimum GPA. But that's not the tragedy. The fact that the person who thought (and still thinks) that way was one B- away from being YOUR genetic counselor is.
Happy Thanksgiving, and remember what happens when you share your turkey with the wrong people :-)
