Mice, men and Eurovision

Good to see that The Poppletonian (15 May) is following up the finding that mice are more scared of male than female researchers.

For a control experiment, maybe the Austrian Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst could be recruited into rodent research. If the subjects get too agitated, Conchita could always sing to them.
