The clarity of the pledges, the organisations named responsible for their delivery, and expected timescales, all allow us to hold them to account.
It's also important to remember how far we've come. 🧪🐭

- Training for #funders and their review panels to ensure that #replacement opportunities are consistently taken in their funding decisions.

- Ensure Journal Editors welcome well designed and reported alternative methods without requiring comparison with an animal ‘model’.

One week on and I'm still slightly 🙃 😊🥰🤓 about the UK Govt's Strategy to Phase Out #AnimalResearch and testing.
Been waiting for this for a wee while now. It might not go as far as some might want, but I am grateful this is being done at all. 🙏🐭🧪

Exciting progress in #neuroscience, brought to you by and crucially depending on a combination of scientific methods, including #animalresearch with #primates. 👇
Work I’ve long admired so much. An individual who struggles to communicate due to ALS is able to do so via a brain computer interface that decodes his attempts to speak.

His daughter had never heard him talk; he has had ALS her whole life. “Would you like to talk with me?” ❤️

My first article in @theatlantic.com! The current administration has been surprisingly vocal about reducing the number of animals in research, but we don’t know how many animals are currently living in laboratories. Every animal counts. #animalresearch, #animals
The Trump administration says it wants to greatly reduce animal experimentation in the United States. Melanie D.G. Kaplan reports on why tracking the actual effects of its plans will be difficult:
Trump’s Animal-Research Plan Has a Missing Step
No one is tracking the total number of animals used across U.S. labs.

It’s been a week since our first-ever #EARA2025 conference in Berlin, and I’m still so proud of what we achieved.

More than 200 participants from across Europe, and as far as Canada, South Africa and New Zealand, came together to rethink how we talk about #AnimalResearch. 1/3

#EARA2025 has come to an end. Thank you to everyone who was part of these two wonderful days of enriching discussion. We can’t wait to meet you at #EARA2027, in Lisbon.

Cathy Alter's questions about Lab Dog in @wirobooks.bsky.social were the best--including who would play me in the movie version. Ha! She writes, "Think Travels with Hammy but with heartbreaking glimpses through laboratory doors." 💙📚 #animalresearch, #dogs, #booksky
