NAVS

Students at Loyola University Chicago are turning compassion into action through PAWS. Supported by NAVS and led by Dr. Pam Osenkowski, NAVS Science Advisor and faculty advisor, they recently hosted a service night for local shelters. “They’re showing up and doing the work.”

What does humane science education look like? At Lane Tech High School, 80 students learned anatomy using models instead of animal dissection. A better way forward.

As an undergraduate, Filipa Ribeiro worked in an animal research lab. After an experience that stayed with her, she realized she wanted to take a different path. Now she develops human-based models to study infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia.

Progress is happening. But we are not done. This World Day for Animals in Laboratories, help us move closer to a future without animal testing. bit.ly/4cPhPNL #WorldDayForAnimalsInLaboratories

NAVS highlights PAWS at Loyola University Chicago, where students are advancing animal welfare through service and advocacy. At a recent event, students made 30 blankets for shelter animals at PAWS Chicago, helping provide comfort to pets awaiting adoption.
