We want more female mice!! 🐭 #Equality

It's crucial that scientific trials are not biased, how can it be that medication/cancer research trials only test on sub-pop? It translates to the drugs women take having not been optimised for correct dosage or removal of side effects.

[Prof Inés Pineda-Torra 🇪🇺🇪🇸🇺🇦 @inespinedatorra]

There is no scientific basis to say female mice present more variable traits (as a blanket statement) because of hormonal cycles and use that as a basis to study ONLY male mice.

It is not true. It’s just as simple as that.

In fact, these has been refuted a few times:

“Heterosexuality and the gender binary assumptions lead to increased levels of discrimination and harassment of LGBTQI+ people, and ultimately their exclusion, unless they downplay their gender identity, sexual orientation or gender expression to fit in.” Excellent ally guide!
