| Abstract: |
The article reports on the laboratory rodents that drowned in basement rooms at a New York University (NYU) research center in Kips Bay due to Hurricane Sandy. The author mentions that the collection of carefully-bred rodents was considered one of the largest and most valuable of its kind in the country. Gordon J. Fishell, associate director of the NYU Neuroscience Institute, states that the animals were the culmination of 10 years of work, and it will take time to replace them. |
