Where do the white lab rats and mice come from? Think about it. Are they some sort of snow rodents? I don’t think so. They are probably some sort of genetic anomalies. I think scientists should have to note that fact in their findings. Instead of reading something like, “Scientists find that excessive caffeine causes cancer in lab mice” – the report should read, “Scientists find that excessive caffeine causes cancer in genetically altered rodents.” Makes a difference on your reaction doesn't it?
Lab Mice come from Jackson Laboratories in Bar Harbor, Maine. They are as close to genetically identical as possible. You need this to reproduce studies.
ReplyDelete(not that many scientists do reproducibility these days)
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Jackson Labs actually on an isolated island off Bar Harbor? An isolated island where many strange any mysterious things occur?
ReplyDeleteComing this Fall - It Came From Jackson Labs!
I think that the Department of Energy sank nuclear waste in the Gulf of Maine and this was the result ...
ReplyDeleteSo basically what you're saying is Japan got Godzilla but the US only got lab mice?
