Monkeys test 'hardworking gene'
This is what I need: Gene therapy to stop procrastination.
Scientists in the United States have found a way of turning lazy monkeys into workaholics using gene therapy...
"Normal monkeys and people procrastinate - tend not to work very well when they have a lot of time to get the job done, and work better when the reward is nearer in time," Dr Richmond says.
"The monkeys under the influence of the treatment don't procrastinate."
See, if I'd had that treatment, I wouldn't be posting this right now.
