Of Mice and Men

Our own Denis Alferez performed a Pint of Science talk entitled ‘The 3R Principles’. See the blurb: “Using animals in experiments remains highly contentious. The UK has been at the forefront of providing oversight and regulation for the animal’s treatment (Cruelty to Animals Act 1876) and research (Animals [Scientific Procedures] Act 1986). The UK Laboratory animal research governance oversees the use and welfare of laboratory animals and relies on replacement, reduction, and refinement (3Rs) principles to demonstrate active conscious and responsibility. Join for a discussion about how this is crucial for the benefit of the public, progression of science and improvements in healthcare.”
