Her story

Mei is a lab mouse who escaped from a research facility after reading one too many badly designed studies about mice. She now reads the studies so you don't have to: every week she sorts the real findings from the hype. She has a soft spot for well-run trials and a deep suspicion of anything that only worked in her cousins.

Find her in Research hub host.
