I responded to a post on animalblog that cited a recent article in the journal "Proceedings" of the National Academy of Sciences. Here's my response on medicalresearch in general. I recently had a discussion about medicalresearch using animals. It’s just a question of WILL.
Here's a site for kids to program them to become "the next generation of laboratory animal science professionals." the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Foundation. Also, it's a great way to get girls interested in science! Talk about an unholy alliance.beef and medicalresearch.
The NC3Rs brings together stakeholders in the 3Rs in academia, industry, government and animal welfare organisations to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas, and the translation of research findings into practice that will benefit both animals and science.
The feud between animal rights activists and researchers is among the bitterest in science. But many researchers - although adamant that animal research remains critical to finding cures and expanding medical knowledge - have come to concede that using creatures as human stand-ins is unnecessary for many procedures.
The RSPCA collected these signatures leading up to the the 7th World Congress on Alternatives & Animal Use in the Life Sciences in Rome. Tags: animal experimentation UK europe research alternatives medicalresearch.
The Texas Attorney General ruled earlier this month that the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center can withhold records of a committee that oversees the use of animals in training and research. Tags: university research animal experimentation animal rescue medicalresearch.
The lab reported the incidents to the National Institutes of Health, said Jim Newman, a spokesman for Oregon Health & Science University, which runs the center. And the center added training and banned one researcher from animal contact in response. Tags: medicalresearch PETA animal welfare us.
Isn't it ironic how these animals show their clear intelligence by learning how to open a door at the same time their fellow species members are being sacrificed to science? Tags: animal experimentation primates medicalresearch oregon.
In addition to troubling questions about its legality, such a facility would also place Puerto Rico behind the curve in the current context of scientific debate about laboratory research involving live animals. Tags: animal experimentation puerto rico animal research primates medicalresearch.
She is the "science" one and likes to call herself an "independent" on the political landscape. She supports medicalresearch on animals. This woman, who I now mentally call "THE VIVISECTOR," defended medicalresearch. There is one member of this group who works for a pharmaceutical company.
But that's neither here nor there -- I'm very supportive of animal research in principle. The point of my series was to introduce some of the difficult questions that don't often get asked within science, precisely because of what Alina has so aptly described as the "climate of fear" that pervades the lab.
Once used as fertilizer, the crabs are now harvested as bait for common whelk and bled for an extract used in medicalresearch. I enjoyed looking at the photographs of the researchers and volunteers almost as much as I enjoyed looking at the bird images; it looks like fun, hard work.
Search the Libraries A good library is one of your best sources of information on the whos, whats, whens, wheres, and whys of animal research. For sleuthing on animal experimentation, you will want to visit a library with good science holdings. Check it out at www.jhsph.edu/~altweb. A university library will usually serve you well.
For those who didn't read the five-part Slate series " Pepper, the stolen dog who changed American science " by Daniel Engber , I recommend it for the history, but also for the misconceptions and assumptions that you might want to discuss on the Facebook discussion about the series. Let's deconstruct: Part I: Where's Pepper?
But I want to be able to argue about it intelligently, citing science, not just morals. I've finally decided to take the plunge and really learn about animal experimentation. It's a horrible topic and I post news articles about the abuses from time to time. Many times tests fail. A drug may work on an animal, but fail miserably on a human.
Welfare groups are calling for an urgent public debate on animal testing amid claims millions of creatures are being killed or maimed every year in Australia in the name of science. Tags: australia animal experimentation animal researchmedicalresearch.
At a conference in Brussels, Belgium on 6 November, European Commission Vice-President Günter Verheugen, and Science and Research Commissioner Janez Potocnik restated the EU's commitment to the reduction of animal testing. Tags: europe animal research drug companies medicalresearch. What gives? From Cordis News.
This statement is mainly motivated by a recent conversation with someone who has a science degree (I think it's biology), but who actually works for a clinical testing company. One of the issues raised by a member was that we need to listen to "science" more and that science will save us. Science does not solve everything.
