Your gut might be controlling your memory. 🧠🦠
Old mice’s gut bacteria made young mice forgetful by messing with their brain signals. The same bacteria? Found in humans.

Turns out, your (ever so popular) microbiome could be a remote control for your memory.

Screenshot of title and abstract for "Harm-Benefit Analysis for Animal Experiments Is Not Utilitarian". The abstract reads: The claim is commonplace that harm-benefit analysis (HBA), a weighing procedure widely used in ethics reviews of animal experiments, is utilitarian. We argue this is false and misleading for three reasons: (1) HBA does not compare, let alone maximize, utility across different options, but merely assesses whether the consequences of one option are net-positive, thereby ignoring opportunity costs; (2) HBA does not aggregate utility coherently, as it allows for varying degrees of speculation in the assessment of harms and benefits; (3) HBA is not concerned with moral evaluation or moral goodness. From our discussion, we derive positive suggestions for how to improve animal experimentation policy and public communications about it. Most straightforwardly, scholars and institutions should stop claiming that HBA is “utilitarian.”

🚨 New paper by myself and @tristankatz.bsky.social 🚨

"Harm-Benefit Analysis for Animal Experiments Is Not Utilitarian"

It's commonly claimed that HBA – used in the licensing of animal studies – is utilitarian. We say this vastly oversells the framework.

The push to end animal testing is gaining steam, but technology can’t fill the gap yet | CNN The FDA has released draft guidance that aims to clear up how drug developers can use alternative testing – but that doesn’t mean animal testing in the US is over.

Here's a good primer on some of the non-animal methods being used for research and testing. Delci Winders @ Vermont Law & Graduate School is quoted: "We already have seen some progress, and I’m optimistic we will see some more." #animalresearch

Monkeys are eating squirrels… so what? 🐒

Fire-footed rope squirrels carry mpox without getting sick, but when eaten by mangabeys, the virus spreads and can eventually reach humans too.

Wauwatosa middle school student leads charge for a state ban on animal tests for cosmetics • Wisconsin Examiner “We need Wisconsin to be the 13th,” Wurzburger said at the press conference. “This is an issue that is very near and dear to my heart."

This teen was the driving force behind legislation in Wisconsin to ban cosmetic animal testing. Twelve states have already done so. She told a class of fourth graders: "I want to make sure that you guys know that nobody is too small to make a change that you believe in." #animals, #animalresearch
