Russian Information Agency Novosti: "Experts did not discover any serious pathology in 'space-born' rats. However, they were thinner and weaker than Earth-born rats and for a while lagged behind their congeners in mental development. The situation with their mother was worse - during a five-and-a-half-day flight, the rat lost almost a quarter of its weight, and doctors noticed some hormonal and endocrine system changes in its body. 'I even wept when I saw the shape the rat was in upon the return, but she fought it through and even delivered a rather decent offspring,' recalls Mrs. Serova."
jaynote: she likes space, and she likes rats? sigh, why are all the good ones married or gay?

She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful.

My brother Marc takes this software seriously as an audio-visual performance instrument. Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."
