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

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.

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/10519…

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😉

We are a firm believer in the need for both planning and reporting guidelines - one at each end of the path to better Science.
