But mice are not people, and we do not know yet if the molecular patterns hold true in us.The Times, September 9, 2020.

“It’s really remarkable,” Dr. Mark Rongeur said. “For years, we have assumed that mice are not people—and vice versa—but now I’m spending hours of my day doing customer service, deciphering mouse complaints. As far as I can tell, the mice do not like automatic gratuities, even if they’re only hypothetical.” Dr. Rongeur added that more study was needed, of course, before the researchers could make the definitive conclusion that mice are people.

Dr. Rongeur added, “We have mice hosting birthday parties for their pet spiders. This study is going way over budget, and we’re running out of extra-thin party-hat elastic.” A Ph.D. student and intern at the university, who requested anonymity for this article, fell asleep in the lab one afternoon after a night of cramming. He woke up with electrodes attached to his head. “I thought it was a prank,” he said. “But I was the only one in the lab. The door was locked.”
