A Magnetic Sixth Sense Is Surprisingly Common In Animals

1. You know, I swat these damn things when they invade my kitchen

but I'm starting to believe that drosophila are the most important animals used in scientific research.

I became aware of them as important in biology class in college, where we learned to breed red-eyed drosophila and black-eyed drosophila as lessons in genetics. Then I forgot about them until I became a bad housekeeper. Now it seems that are useful in almost every field of scientific inquiry. Who knew.

You're certainly not going to get complaints from animal welfare groups about their use, although they are living, sentient creatures that I now realize deserve our respect and care.
