Reply to comment by TheRedLob in Can you (roughly) determine the dosage of a drug taken based off of the blood concentration? by bynarie
As a vet, the question of “why aren’t human medications doses based on weight” has always baffled me! We dose nearly everything in mg/kg because patient sizes are so different. We have some rules of thumb for species with a fairly standard size (mg/cat is a common one!) but I typically double check the mg/kg dose anyway.

Electroporation is one of the principles by which Dolly the sheep was cloned :) They basically took cell contents that could eventually become the sheep, used electroporation to insert it into a recipient cell, and then implanted that in the surrogate.

Looks like it has a self-charging function too. Extremely useful.
