You know you've been working with schizophrenic mouse models for 6 weeks when...

Posted by Nancy Wang on 2009-07-20

you're playing tennis and see a dark brown leaf with a super long stem and think it's a mouse.

you forget that when most people say "my mouse" they mean their computer mouse.

you try to make a cat out of styrafoam stickers, but it comes out looking like a mouse.

your mom says your car smells like mouse but you don't smell anything.

while volunteering at a kids museum, a little girl says you look like a mouse and should therefore eat all 6 pieces of the fake cheese.

you begin to question if any of your friends are schizophrenic.

When someone says they go to DA...as in Durham Academy...you think they're talking about Dopamine.

you receive a box of S'mores Poptarts from the mice in your lab. best surprise ever.
