| Those of you who used to mourn the fate of mice need deplore no more. Of late they’ve been usurped – as well as the fruit fly and some invertebrate worms – by a striped little fish from the Ganges ’ banks for which lab workers will ever owe thanks. One, overheard, as he stared at some tanks: “How we love you; let me count some ways: You’re non-sticky and multiply by k’s also you do it in about 3 days. (for a mouse, remember, it’s twenty one) and we can watch till it’s all done. Hooray for your transparency! Plus you lay eggs externally. and, like us, you’ve a backbone, too!” Carried away, he was observed to coo, “.. wish you knew how much we love you.” Let’s doff our hats to Streisinger, too, who brought this fish from India to benefit you.
