Doesn't change anything but I think he's referring to this twitter account: https://www.twitter.com/justsaysinmice

I wonder if there should be a similar account for "in males".

I believe many medicines are tested in males only because it would be unethical to test them in possibly pregnant females. However, one ridiculous example is birth control pills.

Ah interesting. Thanks!

How did you know about that?

This is not the first study ever to use mice for testing. I think it is very common.

Indeed, mice are often used as guinea pigs.

The problem with autism research on mice is that it is not at all clear that the mouse autism model has anything to do with autism in humans.
