What are time sharing mice?

Maybe a comma helps:

> 99.9% of the time, sharing mice studies has negative value.

What are 'sharing mice'?

Mice using a time-sharing OS?

Finally! We now know the true expansion of the M in MULTICS.

Mice shared among many studies at the same time

On the other hand, if it doesn't pan out in a mouse model, it most likely won't in a human. So these are still useful studies to make, as it is not viable and ethical to test everything on humans first.

Also, one should never read into a single study too much.

Given the number of mouse studies, 0,1% non-negative seems promising ;)

But can you reproduce that result?

Since a lot of these studies that show good results in mice won't work on humans, I can't help but wonder how often it is the other way around. How many good treatments did we miss out on because our current methodology only allows us to find medications that work in humans + at least one other species ?

99.9% of people who claim that 'mouse studies dare useless' are from Reddit and not from the forefront of science. As a result of this reasoning, they may never experience the 300% testosterone boost of onion juice.
