In the last session of the Finnish 3Rs Annual #Symposium 2024, we had an opportunity to discuss many interesting topics!
Guillaume Pavlovic has presented Institut Clinique de la Souris's efforts in the standardization and improving of the laboratory animal genetic reporting.
Finally, our keynote speaker, Otto Kalliokoski from @UCPH_Research presented surprising data on #fraudulent animal studies. We have engaged in the discussion of how it impacts the research and how such occurrences could be prevented.
We are extending a big thank you to everyone for joining us, all of the speakers for the amazing inspiring presentations, all the sponsors for their support and our organizing committee and @UniOulu for a smooth and flawless meeting!
Until next year! 👋

The Finnish #3Rs Annual #Symposium kicked off yesterday!
After having the first day reserved for the practical #workshops, today was dedicated to scientific talks!
First for the day was Dario Greco, @TampereUni discussing integrated approaches in #toxicology.
Following, Daniel Persson from the @helsinkiuni presented his research focused on anesthetic influence on cerebrospinal fluids in #rodents.
The poster session was finalized by inspiring short oral presentations from prospective researchers from @TampereUni and the @UniOulu.
Yesterday we were able to visit the research laboratories of the Botanical Garden of the University of Oulu, guided by Annu Ruotsalainen. We also got to admire the work of the 94-year-old curator emeritus Tauno Ulvinen.@UniOulu@RHinttala@AnneHeikkinen9
