Hygiene and attractiveness consequences of Speedos versus swimming shorts: results of a cross-over study among male academics Whilst in most northern European countries swimming shorts are the norm, swimming briefs, or Speedos, are compulsory in France and parts of Italy.

Opinie | Dierproeven kunnen nog niet vervangen worden Proefdieren: De Tweede Kamer debatteert medio december over het afbouwen van dierproeven. Maak geen overhaaste beslissingen, stellen Elly Hol, Timo van Kerkoerle en Mihai Netea.

Een zorgvuldige oproep tot nuance in het proefdierdebat. Er wordt te makkelijk opgeroepen tot proefdiervrij terwijl proefdierwijs op het moment haalbaarder en wenselijker is: www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/...

Ik zou trouwens lekker vanaf het begin kijken, beetje vreemd om pas vanaf minuut 7 te kijken
