Not being in a cage makes mice less stressed, feels like one of those things that shouldn't take a massive experiment to verify, but here we are. I suspect this may lead, down the line, to requiring new lab standards to certin experiment with these animal models. 🧪

Comme ils l'expliquent eux-mêmes, ils n'essayent pas de reproduire le comportement de l'appareil en le modélisant à partir des composants (trop compliqué, trop coûteux en temps d'expert). Ils ont un robot qui tourne les boutons aléatoirement et construisent le modèle.

I will drop this.
But before I do, I have to note that it is excruciatingly clear that Ken is really mad that my reporting highlighted FIRE’s ties to big right-wing money.
He’s comparing the revelations of publicly available tax filings as something akin to a “Pharma-Rothschild conspiracy.”

Funding absolutely matters.
Right-wing megafunders give money to groups that fight for what they want.
