What Humans Can Learn from Calhoun's Rodent Utopia
Universe 25: Calhoun's Experiment with a Rodent Utopia. Expanding on his earlier studies, Calhoun devised his ultimate research experiment. In Universe 25, a population of mice would grow within a 2.7-square-meter enclosure consisting of four pens, 256 living compartments, and 16 burrows that led to food and water supplies.
