The Rat has been a very useful creature in various medical research fields, ranging from diabetes to learning differences to depression. When I bring up this topic, people typically think I am joking; but actually it is very serious. We should raise a giant Brattleboro Rat statue in Pliny Park.</p><p>Brattleboro Rat Wikipedia short article</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brattleboro_rat" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brattleb</span><span class="invisible">oro_rat</span></a></p><p>Many prestigious institutions and publications have posted learned articles about the Brattleboro Rat.</p><p>:</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/brattleboro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brattleboro</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/brattleborohistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brattleborohistory</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/brattlebororat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brattlebororat</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/clinicaldepression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clinicaldepression</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/dartmouthmedicalschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dartmouthmedicalschool</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diabetes</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hildasokol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hildasokol</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/learningdifferences" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>learningdifferences</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/learningdisabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>learningdisabilities</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/learningdisability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>learningdisability</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/medicalresearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>medicalresearch</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/medicalscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>medicalscience</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/plinyparkbrattleboro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plinyparkbrattleboro</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/westbrattleboro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>westbrattleboro</span></a> </p><p>:::</p>
