My friend Lisa is a neuro scientist. I went and took some photos of her and her lab rats a few weeks ago. Of course I have mixed feelings about this practice, but I really adore Lisa and respect what she does and found the experience fascinating. She loves these rats and works with them for some time, but eventually has to kill them. Soon after I took these photos her rats became infected and died, and all of her research for the last year went to waste.
