Don't You Forget About Me

Listening to CBC's program Quirks and Quarks, a science radio program, I heard about a study that ACTUALLY erased a fearful memory from a mouse. Like, seriously. It's very preliminary and there's a lot of ethical questions - which we talked about on episode 22! - but the scientists took a memory of fear in a mouse and proved with a reasonable certainty that they actually erased the memory. That's amazing, and frightening. What do you think?

I know, we haven't been around. I'm sorry. Rosy's sorry. I've been out of town and she's been out of town (in different places, of course) and super busy... But I'm not going to be working for a while, so hopefully we can get some episodes out. Sigh. Forgive us...

Always,
Megan
