In one's research journey, it is not everyday that one wakes up to email bearing good news. Glad I woke up to this one, which technically isn't even my own achievement! That aside, it was wonderful to be one of the reviewers for Society & Animals: Journal of Human-Animal Studies, published by Brill, and to see the article all set for publication!
“The ethical implications of studying animal consciousness are significant. If animals can experience pleasure or pain, this should influence how we treat them.” MI3 doctoral researcher Nadine Meertens discusses the book A #Philosophy for the #Science of Animal Consciousness by Dr. Walter Veit. So what’s new in the book for the study of animal #consciousness? And what are the implications for how we study consciousness, especially in non-human animals? 🐆 🐖 🐦 👉 You can read the full interview on our blog here: https://lnkd.in/dp62_7tZ 👉 And you can find Nadine's book review here: https://lnkd.in/dj9ZHtMy #AnimalConsciousness

Good literature searches are an integral part of planning animal research and testing. This is where hashtag #systemicreview comes in. Systemic reviews of published animal experiments are a useful aid in planning research and can also be used to extract new conclusions from experiments which have already been performed (so-called Synthesis of Evidence), thereby avoiding the need for new ones. This summer University of Zurich, in collaboration with hashtag Norecopa and the University of Bergen (UiB) are putting on a program led by experts in Systematic Review. Check out amazing program here: https://lnkd.in/eJTMxkX3 and register here: https://lnkd.in/eAW2uuUh to you learn all the steps needed to perform a systematic review of your own, including how to perform literature searches, how to manage references, how to screen abstracts, and risk of bias.
In the last few decades, a wealth of new information has emerged about who animals are: astounding beings with intelligence, emotions, intricate communications networks, and myriad abilities. In this book, the authors present these findings in a concise and awe-inspiring way, detailing a range of surprising discoveries. They pair their tour through the astounding lives of animals with a guide to the exciting new tools that allow humans to avoid using or abusing animals.

A brand new book, providing valuable insight into the developments since the publication of Russell & Burch's book on the #3Rs, has just been published. It is based partly upon interviews of key scientists who knew these two authors personally, and the developments within lab animal science and alternatives since then. It is available under Open Access. https://lnkd.in/dNikSeb5 Thanks to Michael Balls for letting me know.
A very interesting book indeed, that offers valuable insights into the history of lab animal alternatives, building on the Russell & Burch #3Rs principle. The valuable materials included in this book will undoubtedly enhance my talk during up coming #AnimalDigitalTwinsDay. Thank you, Adrian Smith, for sharing this insightful resource. #LabAnimalScience #Alternatives #Animal #DigitalTwins

[My first animal dissection] | January 13, 2012 [Conversation with my supervisor before starting my first animal experiment] Dr. Kabir (to me): Oo Raihan! Come here. {He called me in his specific style} Me: Yes sir. Dr. Kabir: You should not start animal experiment right now. It’s too early. Me: Sir, I can do it. Dr. Kabir: NoOo, you can not do. You think you know but still you don’t know many things. It’s not as easy as you are thinking. Me: Sir you have shown me whole procedure some days before. Let me try. Dr. Kabir: Ok. Do, do! But remember for the next time you should not be hurry while doing science. Dr. Kabir: Ok sir. Thank you! (....accidentally the procedure was successful..warna meri tou khair nai thi)

Exciting advancements in animal research are opening new avenues for understanding happiness and cognition. Our latest blog post explores a fascinating experiment where researchers taught rats to drive a car. This innovative study not only sheds light on the cognitive abilities of these animals but also presents potential implications for enhancing human well-being. Discover how this unique approach could inform our understanding of happiness and lead to healthier, more fulfilling lives. Read the full article here: [BBC Future](https://ift.tt/GXU1TS5).
From egg to tadpole, chick to fledgling, baby animals offer scientists a window into questions of immense importance: How do genes influence health? Which environmental factors support ― or obstruct ― life? Entire ecosystems rest on the survival of animal babies. At any given moment, babies represent the majority of animal life on Earth. In her book “Nursery Earth,” marine biologist and researcher Danna Staaf explores what scientists know about these tiny, hidden lives, revealing some of nature’s strangest workings: A salamander embryo breathes with the help of algae inside its cells. The young grub of a Goliath beetle dwarfs its parents. The spotted beak of a parasitic baby bird tricks adults of other species into feeding it. In this excerpt, learn about the amazing capabilities — from mimicking bird droppings and snakes to shooting their feces 40 times the length of their bodies — that caterpillars employ to survive this precarious stage in their life. 🔎🐛 Get a closer look at the world of baby animals: https://lnkd.in/gFgsEkpG
The evolution of the nervous system may have followed multiple paths and risen independently in two early lineages of animals, according to a Science study in comb jellies. Check out that research from last year: https://scim.ag/6ES #ScienceMagArchives
Discover tick@lab’s powerful 3R Blackboard add-on, designed to enhance ethical practices in animal research. This widget facilitates the responsible exchange of surplus animals, organs, or tissues between research facilities. By maximizing resource use and supporting compliance requirements, the 3R Blackboard add-on reinforces the Reduction principle of the 3Rs—promoting a more sustainable and ethical approach to research. A pilot study conducted by Cardiff University and Aachen University, illustrates how 3R Blackboard add-on users were able to reduce ~30% of animals used. Learn more about how it streamlines operations and supports ethical compliance by reading the study at https://lnkd.in/exkjR3AM or watch our video to see it in action. #3Rs #AnimalResearch #ResearchCompliance
