Stephen Fry and neuropsychiatric genetics:
Actor, writer and film director Stephen Fry recently visited the neuropsychiatric genetics unit at Cardiff University - which is not a combination I'd ever thought I'd be writing about.
Fry has bipolar disorder, sometimes called manic depression, which can cause manic highs or deep disabling depressions.
His visit was apparently part of a BBC documentary on bipolar to be shown later this year, and the unit is one of the leading research centres for the genetics of psychopathology.
