Justin Goodman joins Emily to explain the research behind Trump’s much-derided “transgender mice” claim, arguing the situation is actually even more serious than the president conveyed in his joint address. Goodman also weighs in on the media coverage of his efforts to expose the use of taxpayer money on animal testing.

Very interesting, though it was hard to listen to the descriptions of animal abuse in laboratories. I was shocked that 300 beagles a week are harmed in US-funded Chinese labs. Whitecollar Waste seem to be having more success emphasising the waste of taxpayer cash rather than the animal welfare angle, which seems a very wise strategy. I do wonder how much help Elon Musk will be, though, in his DOGE role, as he himself seems to support animal research through some of his companies. I read one was involved in implanting microchips into animals’ brains. Let’s hope he’s not on the gravy train described in the video.
