That was one contributing factor. There have been a lot of high profile scandals and this has led regulators to be far stricter. Eg we're not allowed to have personal phones in the office and must go to special areas in the building to

I think Bloomberg chat is much less important as a social network these days. It's heavily monitored by compliance departments and any communication that diverges from direct market trading is generally frowned upon.

A mouse model for human autism is contrived at best. The cynic in me feels that some researchers are running out of ideas. The only experimental apparatus are poor knockout mice. Arguably an analogy is trying to fix a compiled binary with a
