Free the mice, it's springtime

"Atlas of the Prenatal Mouse Brain" was the book which triggered me to post this faux review on Amazon back in 2012.

This is a bizarre book showing large, full-page photos of vivisected mouse brains in various stages of development. Or decomposition? There is almost no text. The brains belong to the C57 B1/6J, an inbred mouse strain from the Jackson Laboratories. Tissues were dehydrated in an ascending series of ethanols and toluene and embedded in Paraplast.

I hope this research will eventually solve the problem of diabetes, obesity or Midwestern rust belts. If not, some ethical committee might want to take a closer look at the Jackson Laboratories...
