Congratulations to Alicia Kinally for winning the @InstAnimalTech Andrew Blake Tribute award. Find out more about Alicia's brilliant work to refine the handling of rabbits in our Tech3Rs newsletter, where she was featured as one of our 3Rs champions: nc3rs.org.uk/sites/default/f…
ALT Daily handling is refined by using box handling instead of capture and restraint. Here, a transport box is held up to the rabbit cage, the animal has been trained to move into the transport box without the need to be picked up.

Today marks the beginning of @InstAnimalTech's #TechMonth!
Without animal technicians, we wouldn’t be able to uphold the high standards of care and welfare afforded to animal research in the UK.
Thank you, animal technicians, for your passion, dedication, and compassion! (1/2)

How to sample DNA in fish, without causing physical harms!
Thanks to research at @uniofleicester @Biomed_Res we now have a better way of sampling fish DNA - non-invasive swabbing! #AnimalResearch
