Stimuli for the future of research with animals On 27 November, NRP 79 is organising a symposium in Bern on the future of animal experimentation and 3Rs research in Switzerland.

As the symposium on November 27 approaches, Herwig Grimm talks about current developments in animal experimentation — and how science can contribute to a more informed public dialogue.
