Research papers that omit 'mice' from titles receive misleading media coverage
- perl4ever 5y agoI perceive this article as rather obtuse in its focus. Instead of worrying about how researchers can avoid misleading the public, shouldn't society more urgently focus on: - Eliminating "mouse models" that are *not* mouse models - Figuring out how funding of studies with mouse models that aren't mouse models happens and reforming the process? It seems most important to avoid wasting resources, and while I'm not an animal rights fanatic, it bothers me to do unnecessary experiments on lab animals. A misinformed public seems like the least of the issues.
