Interesting thing of the day:
Mouse experiments with the popular club drug ketamine may be skewed by the
sex of the researcher performing them, a study suggests.
The findings, presented on 14 November at the Society for Neuroscience
(SfN) meeting in Washington DC, only deepen the mystery
<http://www.nature.com/doifinder/10.1038/545017a> of how ketamine, which
has powerful mood-lifting properties, interacts with the brain. They also
raise questions about the reproducibility of behavioural experiments in
mice.

Study is apparently legit (it's been peer-reviewed and results have been
replicated and confirmed). This also raises other questions about whether
or not previous studies involving mice could have had their results skewed
by the sex of the experimenters, and of course on what scale this applies
to humans.
