'For the convenience of human experimentalists and caretakers, and to decrease costs, mice are generally housed at environmental temperatures below their thermoneutrality. Our comfort and fiscal frugality come at costs that may include inappropriate interpretation of findings and even compromised translatability of experimental findings to human physiology and disease.'

@cyrilpedia Worth also asking “whose comfort”? Most buildings are kept at a temperature that would only be comfortable for someone in a three piece suit
