TEACH THE TEACHER: How to teach Replacement, Reduction and Refinement 3Rs of Animal Use in Science – Introduction
PUBLICATION: Refining Research to Improve the Lives of Laboratory Mice
An important discussion in today’s society is whether we should make animals suffer for the sake of science and product development. In this article, I present four examples of animal tests that were introduced in the past to protect patients and consumers, and I discuss attempts to replace those animal tests with other methods. When […]

PUBLICATION: Reducing the Number of Research Animals: How Imaging Technologies Can Help
Even when no other alternatives are available for scientific experiments, the use of research animals is still a difficult decision. To promote more ethical animal research, scientists must follow the 3Rs principle. Reduction is one of the 3Rs—it involves keeping the number of animals used to a minimum, by obtaining information from fewer animals or […]
