👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼If I had a $ for every time I’ve read “male mice only” in a paper…. .
When it comes to medical research the world revolves around male cells and male lab animals, with new treatments largely tested on men. Today the focus shifted to women with the launch of a new Health Equity Centre in Sydney.
