🐭 'MOUNTAINEERING MICE' 🐭

A hallmark of Jay Storz’s research is that he isn’t studying these creatures from afar – he is setting up base camps, acclimatizing and traversing to heights that humans can tolerate for only short periods of time.

During his lecture, he detailed these mountaineering efforts, as well as his team’s work to shed light on how animals have evolved the ability to survive where temperatures rarely rise above freezing and the air contains less than half the oxygen available at sea level.
