So I came across this on the Awl (one of my fav blogs) today, and figured I'd share here:

Basically, scientists have been testing the effects of illegal drugs on various fish, and some of the results are pretty unexpected. It seems especially counter-intuitive to me that any of these substances made the fish more social.
Also, the fact that we've totally sequenced the zebrafish genome is pretty amazing. I didn't know the value these fish have for research.
