Speculate on Lab Mice Endurance Tests: Pumpscience and Hedgehog Markets Collaboration
Pump.science and Hedgehog Markets will allow bettors to speculate on laboratory mice undertaking trials aimed at extending human life expectancy, according to an announcement made on January 8. Users of Hedgehog Markets can wager on mice every week by predicting how long each rodent will remain on a rotating rod, according to a blog post by Pump.science. Each mouse will have a unique name, and the endurance tests will last for two months.
Each week, mice are treated with potential life-extending compounds and undergo endurance testing. Participants can access video footage of the individual mice, preliminary data, and insights from past experiments to inform their predictions on which mouse will stay on the rotarod the longest.
