Indeed the mouse model is far from perfect, however it is an excellent tool for at least providing some evidence that a line of experimentation is worth more work. I decided to write this because I saw several popular science sites writing about it, but they really didn't go into any details. I wanted to try to explain this a bit more than I was seeing elsewhere, provide people with a bit more of a reason to want to look into things further.

Thanks for reading man, I really appreciate it!
