3R: Replace | Reduce | Refine #AnimalResearch
Our activities cover research, education & training, and communication. Research focuses on human 3D models (for example #organoids) as alternatives to animal models.
https://www.ec3r.org/
Do not miss the upcoming 3R Online Seminar on November 13th, featuring two speakers from the EC3R:
Jens Kurreck "Bioprinting of Organ Model for Biomedical Research" and
Stefan Hippenstiel: "Basic Considerations on Models, Methods, and the 3Rs"

It sounds paradox that a person at NIH working to replace animal use in research & testing and using all the arguments and narratives from animal-research opponents now becomes the target of a radical group. Apparently, NIH's plans aren't enough for these people.
Nicole Kleinstreuer, who has worked at NIH for nearly a decade, was thrust into the spotlight when she was chosen to help lead a new office working to reduce the use of animals in NIH-funded research.

But she has drawn the ire of an advocacy group and its fervent followers. https://scim.ag/4oPjaIL

Top Trumps - but make it science 🤓 I had the most fun designing these, and I've written about how you could use it in your outreach programme!

I'm keen to spread the word to any educators/academics who might be interested - please share 🤗 @nc3rs.bsky.social
