The linked article is intentionally misleading by omission because they left out "in mice" in the university driven article and they certainly know the relevance and consequences of leaving it out.

Press release should be replaced by actual journal article, which doesn’t omit “mouse model”.

Yes, it’s really disappointing to see Monash doing that - not a mention of mouse or mice.

AFAIK the background is the 'big 5' universities in Australia have a fat loan due which they took out 10 years ago and can't pay. Their primary income source was foreign exchange students and that demand has fallen off a cliff. So they're shedding academics and puffing like crazy right now. It seems in the near future Australian tertiary education will be highly corporatized and move to a more American model than our European-style history.

FTFY. Not exchange students.

Erp, well caught.
