For me it was the cats. We used to test steroids on cats. We'd inject them with varying doses and kinds and just kinda evaluated their condition. They were well taken care of for the most part. A lot of them would get visibly more muscular and it was really funny because they'd often dislocate their knees and hips by accident by jumping too hard over the obstacles. The joints didn't scale well. We got a lot of good data and wrote some good papers so it was for a good cause.

It was just mice for us. But I dunno, like my whole group are part of an entire educational institute that includes animal welfare and so we had mice that were probably nurtured by other students and then killed by other students and then we're the ones who dissected them. We didn't just order our mice, our mice were bred, raised, and delivered, on demand, from another group of students! I didn't dissect any, but I helped with the scalpel blades, of course. And I got weirdly in to it, like "yeah, the old blade slips out easily like that, ok the new one just snaps in like that, yep, easy". Seemed kinda weird. I'd prefer a rabbit. At least I sorta know what to do with a rabbit. Mmm...after you deglove the skin, gut, wash, all that poo poo, and I reckon you can poach that flesh in a soy/hoisin/ginger/chilli mix for 90 minutes then fry it out, brown the pieces a bit, and be left with a bunch of really tasty tender strips of deliciousness. Meh, I'd do it with a mouse. But they're too tiny. Dissecting the drat things to extract the spleen to extract the DNA from it is hard enough. Still though, a few dozen de-gloved mice, gutted, with a regular stew mix of caramelized onions and various vegetables, a litre of red wine, a handful of various herbs, and let it stew slowly until the bones become soft...yep I can see that.

I injected mice with human brain tumor in their legs. When they got too big we had to euthanize them by breaking their necks. We had literally hundreds of mice.

We researched how willing people were to injure others if an authority figure okay's it. Basically, you sit there with the subject and tell them to press a button that they believe is issuing electric shocks to somebody in another room. (it is not) You increase the intensity of the shocks and tell the subject that they can quit at any time but that it's fine to continue because there's a waiver and blah blah blah. End result: regular people will murder another person if an authority figure tells them it's okay to do. I am lying but I did read about a study like this.

Looked at FLIR videos of wasps in trapped small boxes as the temperature was gradually increased until they died. Put the data in an excel sheet.

TrustmeImLegit posted:For me it was the cats. As an addendum to this we brought in an animal behaviorist to study the cats as many of them had started kicking eachother in the head, one cat got seriously injured. He said the increased leg power made the cats prioritize them as weapons. Luckily most of the cats had hosed up their legs so badly jumping around too much that kicking wasn't feasible anymore. It was funny because most of them couldn't even run properly in the course we set up for them to evaluate their condition. They were like retarded kangaroos.

One time there was a chipmunk at my gf's parent's house and as the summer went on we would place peanuts closer and closer to the bench we sat on outside. Eventually the chipmunk got close enough to be comfortable with us and ate out of our hands. It was a cool and good experiment.

I don't think I'd be able to work with cats, kudos OP. I've given mice fecal-oral transplants, by homogenizing mouse stools then force-feeding them other mouse's poo poo. Then I infected them with fatal C. difficile colitis. Results are unpublished as of yet so I don't really want to describe the experimental design. I've got lots of other publications though.

One of the cats when we dissected it had a biceps femoris that was a third longer and twice as thick as any before previously documented that we could find. The joints were shredded and bone bent. Its still in a bottle of formaldehyde and badass looking. Steroids work when you give them 5 times the equivalent human dose. The vet said if you told him that muscle came off an adolescent tiger he'd believe it let alone a house cat. TrustmeImLegit fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Jan 29, 2017 |
