Dr. Sally Thompson-Iritani to Present on the 3Rs in Animal ResearchThursday, August 22, 2024 Dr. Sally Thompson-Iritani, the AVP for Animal Care, Outreach & 3Rs will be the featured guest presenter in an upcoming webinar hosted by Allentown titled, “Making the 3Rs More than a Checkbox.” The session will be moderated by Cindy Buckmaster. The 3Rs—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—are fundamental principles in animal research aimed at enhancing ethical standards and scientific quality. However, their implementation often becomes a perfunctory task, failing to fully realize their potential. UW challenged themselves to make the 3Rs more than a checkbox through strategic initiatives. Key approaches included fostering a culture of ethical responsibility, enhancing awareness, providing pilot funding for 3Rs-focused initiatives, and partnering with the 3Rs Collaborative (3RsC). Attend this session to gain valuable insights and discover practical strategies to empower your organization to embrace the 3Rs, ultimately enhancing animal welfare, improving research outcomes, and positioning you at the forefront of ethical research practices. Registration for the webinar closes Wednesday, August 21. This webinar meets AALAS and CALAS requirements for 1.00 hour of Continuing Education (CE) |
