Can you improve a burnt cake by describing it better?! We need your help to convince scientists planning animal studies to start on day 1: better validity & welfare. Pls forward. Shameless plug for PREPARE, which covers *all* aspects of experimental design norecopa.no/PREPARE

Important to know from day 1 (a) what you will have to report (ARRIVE) and (b) all that you should consider when planning (PREPARE), because there are many issues which never get reported but which affect data validity, reproducibility, animal welfare and health & safety.

A great week for the zebrafish community! It began with a 3-day hands-on husbandry course, and ended with a 2-day meeting where representatives from nearly all the Nordic facilities established a Nordic Zebrafish Network, and a Steering Group to manage it. 1/n

Join tutors Prof Adrian Smith @adrian_3r of @norecopa & @ResponsibleAR on 29-31 Jan 2024 for our "PREPARE for better Science" course. Focus on #researchplanning skills to deliver rigorous & reproducible #animalstudies using #PREPARE guidelines. #CPD #3Rs responsibleresearchinpractice.co.uk/prepare-for-be…

Mener du at Norge bør få et senter for alternativer til dyreforsøk? NÅ er det din anledning til å si fra! Skriftlig innspill kan sendes til Næringskomitéen innen kl. 16 den 14. november: stortinget.no/no/Hva-skjer-p… Hvem som helst kan skrive et innlegg. Ikke la anledningen gå fra deg!

We are excited to host a UK meeting focusing on implementing humane endpoints in regulatory toxicology in fishes, on November 16 🐟 The meeting is FREE to attend with lunch and refreshments 🏅Receive 9 CPD points awarded by IAT. 📅Register by Nov 8th: tinyurl.com/fishtox

An excellent opportunity for those who missed FRAME's Training School in Bergen this year. Happy to be part of this initiative showcasing the importance of good preparation and design #PREPARE #3Rs

**PLEASE SHARE** Next Wednesday, Oct 18th is the DEADLINE to register for this course. Come to Porto in December to learn how to: - Better design your experiments - Improve reproducibility - Minimize number of animals used while increasing study reliability #3Rs

UZH is developing alternative methods to animal experiments in line with the 3Rs principle. To highlight outstanding achievements of its members, the university has introduced the UZH 3R Award, which has now gone to Giuseppe Esposito & Melanie Generali. 👉news.uzh.ch/en/articles/ne…

@RSPCA_LabAnimal @BBCNews Is this poster downloadable from the RSPCA website, in which case we would like to add a link to norecopa.no/species/other-… or alternatively publish a copy of it on that page.

@BBCNews Want to know more about the scientific, ethical and animal welfare issues associated with the use of these animals in research and testing?

@RSPCAInternat @RSPCA_LabAnimal @NC3Rs @east_taiwan @RSPCA_official @paulrspca Thanks Penny! Let us know if the delegates would like further translations of the PREPARE checklist norecopa.no/prepare/prepar… You're doing great work in promoting animal welfare and best scientific practice 🙂👏

Wrapping up @RSPCA_LabAnimal IACUC #AnimalWelfare #ethics workshops for Taiwan🇹🇼, discussing harm-benefit analysis, sharing a host of recommended resources, including @norecopa PREPARE Guidelines and @NC3Rs Experimental Design Assistant 🙏🏻

Norecopa's latest newsletter is full of guidance on Open Science and the latest resources to advance the Replacement, Reduction and Refinement of animal research. You'll find it at norecopa.no/news/newslette… Please consider subscribing - and spread the word in your network!

@VVoikar @COST_TEATIME @caimprove @FernandoUarquin Great work, Vootele! If folks mention the International #cultureofcare Network, it would be great if you could remind everyone that the Network has a really simple shortcut to its website: norecopa.no/coc

Ideas on how Open Science can support the #3Rs and improve research protocols which contain plans that may involve the use of animals. A great collaboration with colleagues at Utrecht University and beyond: riojournal.com/article/105198

Today at #WC12Canada I presented an overview of the work of @norecopa entitled "a one-stop-shop for global #3R resources", which is indeed our aim. My slides are available at norecopa.no/WC12. See if you agree with me😉

@GKGriffin @WC12Canada looking forward to seeing you!

@norecopa @WC12Canada Thanks Adrian!

In time for @WC12Canada , a French translation of the @norecopa slide deck on the #3Rs is available: norecopa.no/3Rs 🇫🇷🇨🇦🇳🇴
