Dude it's worse than that. I was a working neuroscientist for almost twenty years. So...jaded.

There is a lot of incremental research that gets transformed into ZOMG YOU GUYS!!! by the research office. The journals are full of papers demonstrating a complete rescue of a disease model ( and I'm an author on some of them). What the papers are really demonstrating is the inadequacy of the animal model.
