Flagged. Nonsense puff piece by the university. The headline itself is beyond terrible - this is a mouse model and would need years of further successful research to be able to say that it "restores memory" in any meaningful way, let alone in actual humans.
- musiciangames 5mo agoYes, it’s really disappointing to see Monash doing that - not a mention of mouse or mice.
- contingencies 5mo agoAFAIK the background is the 'big 5' universities in Australia have a fat loan due which they took out 10 years ago and can't pay. Their primary income source was foreign exchange students and that demand has fallen off a cliff. So they're shedding academics and puffing like crazy right now. It seems in the near future Australian tertiary education will be highly corporatized and move to a more American model than our European-style history.
- markdown 5mo ago> foreign students FTFY. Not exchange students.
- contingencies 5mo agoErp, well caught.
- Selkirk 5mo agoThe linked article is intentionally misleading by omission because they left out "in mice" in the university driven article and they certainly know the relevance and consequences of leaving it out.
- janalsncm 5mo agoPress release should be replaced by actual journal article, which doesn’t omit “mouse model”.
