File under shit we didn’t need to study. Is this just careerism, needing to get published to advance a career?

  The objective of this research seems to be understanding the mechanism, not just the result. That is something worth studying.

  > File under shit we didn’t need to study. At first glance this seems very obviously wrong. Can you elaborate why you think there is no value in understanding the impact of things like diet on development and beyond?

    It's a study of feeding junk food to mice. What cause of science was advanced here besides authors getting published?

      Are you questioning in general the utility of animal models? If so, that's a pretty strong claim.

        Lol no. Of feeding them junk food and calling it science. Take care man.
