If you are doing any naked mice studies, here is one that I would really like to see done.
Give one mouse a silver compound, such as silver nitrate, or silver oxide. Take decanted CS, and add a like amount of silver compound to it and give it to another mouse. Expose both to sunlight (or long wave UV) and see if only the first one turns blue, or if both turn blue. Marshall "Jonathan B.
