⚠️SAVE THE DATE⚠️
On June 19, 2024, the @3RsCU will host, in collaboration with the Transition to Animal-free Innovations program, a conference on the future of animal-free biomedical research at the @jaarbeurs
✅Further details, including registration, will be available soon
Dankzij investeringen is er rust en ruimte gekomen bij de universiteiten. Bij de @UniUtrecht wordt hard gewerkt om dierproeven overbodig te maken en nieuwe medicijnen beter & goedkoper te testen https://t.co/1Gc9luVmBy @rivm, @HU_Utrecht, @UMCU_Intl
Behoud de #waardevanwetenschap
Kom jij zondag ook naar het Weekend van de Wetenschap van @UniUtrecht? Schuif aan bij minicolleges en volg workshops, en ontdek antwoorden op vragen als: Hoe werkt de rechtbank? Hoe graaf je fossielen van dino's op? Wat is de oersoep? https://t.co/JMopG6NM8D #WvdW23
De Britse onderzoeksinstelling @AFR_UK heeft het werk van hoogleraar Merel Ritskes-Hoitinga bekroond met de Pioneer Medal 2023. De prijs wordt uitgereikt aan baanbrekende wetenschappers die onderzoek uitvoeren zonder het gebruik van dierproeven: @3RsCU https://t.co/BMq8JSmy8T
We are pleased to announce the next webinar series in our cross-European 3Rs centre collaboration.

World Day for Laboratory Animals!
Today April 24th, we put animals' rights first and pay special attention to the suffering of lab animals and the movement to replace them with non-animal scientific techniques.

'Minder gebruik van proefdieren'.
Faculteit Diergeneeskunde @UniUtrecht@UMCUtrecht legt uit - in aanloop naar Wereldproefdierendag - hoe dat kan.

Hoe staat het met de transitie naar meer #proefdiervrije innovaties, en hoe kan die transitie versneld worden? Daarover sprak minister Adema @ministerlnv en Kamerlid @WassenbergFrank vandaag op het @UtrechtSciPark met diverse deskundigen en betrokkenen.

High quality experimental results and happy cows: a win-win combination! Next to the 7 scientific arguments to stop using FCS, don't ignore the ethical dimention: the bleeding of one calf = 500 ml of FCS. Let’s improve science together!

The 3RCU seminar ‘Rebooting Relevant Research’ on Thursday, the 11th of May. Come to our kick-off meeting and have a drink to meet the new director and discover what's in it for you!

Yes, we’ve always used FCS & our systems/previous results might be affected by changing it. But humankind put a man on the moon, so FCS-free cell culture sounds like an achievable step! FCS is today's standard, what about tomorrow?#leadorfollow#FCSfree#cellculture#alternatives
Ben jij erbij? Op 21 april is het Proefdiervrij Event 2023 in @amaredenhaag. Reserveer je gratis ticket: https://t.co/mnjcW4hZe8. Dit staat er op het programma 👇
Remember BSE? Creutzfeld Jacob's disease? Prions spreading via biological materials? If you’re working towards clinical application, be aware that the use of FCS is incompatible with current safety regulations. Even downstream! #leadorfollow#FCSfree#replacement#alternatives
Have you published a paper in the last year that would have a major impact on the 3Rs? If so, head over to the NC3Rs website for further information on how to apply: https://t.co/0pMYxVQY0q

By adding FCS to your cell culture medium, you're likely to change the physiology of your cells by causing them to proliferate like tumor and buff up like body builders. Is there room to better mimic human physiology? #leadorfollow#FCSfree#cellculture#replacement#alternatives
