...Clark has been a lab technician at Yale since December 2004. His duties included cleaning the cages of lab rodents, a job that may have brought him into contact with Le, who used mice in her research. "His supervisor reports that nothing in the history of his employment at the university gave an indication that his involvement in such a crime might be possible," said Yale president Richard Levin in a statement to the campus community Sept. 17.

...York Times' profiles of both Annie Le and Ray Clark are tragic and worth reading. Meanwhile, Gawker has dug up Clark's old MySpace profile and other details on Clark, including that he complained to Le through e-mail about the way she was treating lab mice...
...just some guy.” Police have said Clark is a lab technician at Yale. It’s unclear how long he worked there and Clark’s supervisors would not comment Tuesday. Le worked for a Yale laboratory that conducted experiments on mice, and investigators found her body stuffed in the basement wall of a facility that housed research animals. Clark works in the lab as a technician. Authorities had been tightlipped since Le was reported missing, just a few days before her wedding day. Police say they have ruled out her fiancee, a Columbia University...
...first study to associate meal timing with degree of weight gain, sleep scientists at Northwestern University compared two groups of mice, each placed on opposite feeding schedules for a six-week period. Both groups were fed the same high-fat food, and both had the same amount of daily physical activity. The only difference: one group was fed during its normal 12-hour waking period, while the other rodents where fed while they should have been asleep. By the end of the study period, the latter group had gained more than twice as much weight as the mice that...
...while these hormones have been successfully manipulated in lab mice to prompt weight gain or loss, the same has not been true in humans. Experiments in which obese human patients were injected with leptin have failed, because the metabolic pathways that control hunger and fullness in people are far more complex than they are in mice. Knocking out one of, say, 50 such pathways through drug treatment just means the other 49 will eventually pick up the slack, says Dr. George Fielding, a bariatric surgeon at the NYU Program for Surgical Weight Loss...
