So Dr. Hens mentioned naked mole rats in our first class and I remembered reading this article in Popular Science (link below) magazine. They are actually very interesting creatures, albeit not so attractive. I'm surprised more people don't know about them considering they may help us to figure out cures to cancer and heart problems. Anyway just thought I would share the article if anyone would care to read it. Enjoy.
