In the unfolding crisis in Mali, the organisation currently appears to be faring no batter.

You take a glow gene out of a coral or a jellyfish and you stick it in a zebrafish, and, puff, they glow.

The Douglas AC 47 Spooky (also nicknamed Puff, the Magic Dragon ) was the first in a series of gunships developed by the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War.

So we built a device, which we call a puff o mat, in which we could deliver little brief air puffs to fruit flies in these plastic tubes in our laboratory bench and blow them away.

So we decided to use our puff o mat and our automated tracking software to screen through hundreds of lines of mutant fruit flies to see if we could find any that showed abnormal responses to the air puffs.

So when we take away the dopamine receptor and the flies take longer to calm down, from that we infer that the normal function of this receptor and dopamine is to cause the flies to calm down faster after the puff.

And what we found is that if we gave these flies in the puff o mat several puffs in a row, they became somewhat hyperactive and continued to run around for some time after the air puffs actually stopped and took a while to calm down.
