During this session Prof Emma Robinson (University of Bristol) will give an overview of the 3H's initiative and discuss how applying the principles of this framework can improve the lives of laboratory rodents. She will also answer any questions the audience may have. For more information or to register to attend CLICK HERE.

17th-20th March, daily 09:30-12:30 GMT - Responsible Aquatic Animal Research Course. 

Whether you have years of experience working with aquatic species (such as killifish, medaka, salmon, zebrafish & xenopus) or are at the start of your career our Responsible Aquatic Animal Research course is a game changer and will exceed your expectations. Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to discover the evidence base underpinning our current knowledge of aquatic animal welfare and how you can apply this in your work whilst also learning how to challenge the status quo and think creatively to identify and overcome study flaws and limitations!
