This is the stupidest glib reply format on par with “citation needed” and “tell me you’re [thing] without telling me you’re [thing]”

Animal models are used in research. Is this news to you? Do you think people don’t know that?

"In mice" is one of those shorthand sayings that scientists/professors themselves coined, it's not as dismissive as you're making it out.

In this context of social media it's very useful as a reminder.

Indeed. My postdoc advisor who was prominent in the AD field used to remind us that "Alzheimer's has been solved in mice hundreds of times".

This headline would potentially be Nobel worthy if in humans.
