Dusty barns, gleaming stables and damp basements. These are all places where you might find a house mouse – or a member of my research team. I'm an evolutionary biologist, and my lab at Drexel University studies wild house mice. With help from Philly residents, we are collecting mice from high-rises and row homes to learn more about the impacts of city living on house mice.
