Episode 233 – Lab Rats

“the direct nature of the experiment” [BRUC]  


It's the third week of the month, and that means it's time for our Exotic Animals feature! When you hear "rat" anywhere near the Sherlock Holmes stories, there are three possible conclusions: the Giant Rat of Sumatra, Ballarat, or...

Lab rats, which is our topic of discussion. While lab rats aren't literally mentioned in the Canon, there are some figurative ones. What were they? We look at those, plus the history of animal experimentation in medicine. It's just a Trifle. 

Oh, and check this out: we have a bonus audio track just for our Patreon supporters. Become one today to unlock it.
