Here is a lovely statue of a rat knitting DNA:

We owe a lot to rats.

That is a mouse.

Most research is in mouse models.

I love this statue! It's in Novosibirsk. I've always wanted to go there and see it in real life. Once the war is finally over and Russia is free again I'll pay a visit to that little rodent.

Russia is free again

I really wish that will happen as well, but when has Russia actually been free?

Sure, somewhen like 7000bc at least

Jokes aside, I do believe in a better future. As bleak as everything looks, I strongly want to believe that all the amazing people I've met who want change can achieve it. Even if chances aren't great, I do believe it is possible. After all, what life is left inside you if you decide to not have hope?
