For the new study, Lightfoot and his team bred two strains of mice - active and inactive. Researchers then crossbred two generations of the active and inactive mice, ending up with a study group of 310 genetically mixed offspring...

After a popcorn chicken-filled lunch, I came across this line: “Before a man can find himself famous, he must first find himself.” Eureka! I thought. If I wanted to become famous at Harvard, I had to first construct a killer Harvard identity. Perhaps I could be a final club-hopping heiress—Sachi Ezura, heir to the Meineke Tire and Brake Pad fortune—but this would require entrepreneurial skills...
