I had the privilege of being on the committee that reviewed the applications for this imaginative and well-targeted call for infrastructure and training in support of replacement. Some fantastic projects that will result in real reductions in animal use thanks to #NC3Rs

It’s a 10-minute slot after Natasha Karp and Matt Leach - no pressure! Hoping to spark a ripple effect in how we think about design, rigour, and inclusion in science.
