Another Technology Race Lost July 29, 2011

I’ve oft complained that the US is losing its technology lead over other countries, and now I have a striking example: We’ve lost the glow-in-the-dark beagle race:
Scientists in South Korea have created a glow in the dark dog with an on/off switch.The beagle was made using a cloning technique that the researchers hope will help in efforts to find new treatments and possible cures to degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Two-year-old Tegon was genetically engineered to glow when placed under ultraviolet light.
You can even turn his glowing on and off with additives to his food. Unbelievable.

For science.
Right now, the number one search directing traffic to IB is, “why does god hate denmark?”
Somehow, I am proud of that.
Now it’ll be easier to eat in the dark.
