The ⁦AnimalResearchNexus⁩ team produced a poster for the ⁦Understanding Animal Research⁩ conference on #openess We explored how qualitative social science methods can add understanding to how people carry out their work and produced resources to support more open conversations

Our paper on Advancing the 3Rs has now been compiled as a Frontiers e-book with other articles on 'Towards a New 3Rs Era in Experimental Research'. The paper is here frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… and the whole ebook here frontiersin.org/research-topic…: it’s a powerful showcase of new work

Was lovely to talk to The Observer about horseshoe crabs! It’s clear that more ethical & sustainable practices are needed around biomedical use of horseshoe crab blood. Alternatives are great, but they don’t automatically result in changes to scientific practices or cultures!

ACTUALLY thrilled to get my hands on these two genuinely path breaking new titles in our 'Inscriptions' series at the lovely Manchester University Press.

And great to present some prior AnimalResearchNexus work myself this afternoon: “Exploring entanglements and assumptions at the intersection of animal research and patient involvement in dementia” #MultiSpeciesDementia

Fantastic morning at the “Dementia in a multi species world” conference, with great presentations from Jocey Quinn & Camille Bellet🌬🌾🐄 on the opening theme of ‘thinking beyond the human’

Great book below!

This is a really fanastic looking seminar series on Animal Scales - the implications of thinking animals in and through scale - organised by Mariam Motamedi Fraser in collaboration with UCL and Goldsmiths ucl.ac.uk/anthropocene/p…

Excited to get my copy of 'Researching Animal Research' that brings together the important work of AnimalResearchNexus on what the humanities & social sciences can contribute to lab animal welfare. Very privileged to be involved in 2 chapters of this impactful book.

How can the humanities and social sciences enrich understanding of the social dimensions of animal research and support new kinds of conversations amongst researchers, technicians, vets, regulators, patients, and publics?

We outline some ideas in our new book 👇
