The ‘‘crisis of care’’ is often understood as an economic and political issue in which the work of caring for others has been devalued. However, this lens can overlook the experiences of those involved in care work. Can observing the treatment of rats and mice in biomedical science offer another understanding of care? Drawing on ethnographic research into laboratory animals and those who look after them in her forthcoming book, A Mouse in a Cage, Dr Carrie Friese proposes a different way of viewing, and valuing, care work.
