🧪 Are you a #BreastCancer #Researcher? One of our lovely Science Advisory Panel has a student surveying breast cancer researchers' use of non-animal technologies #NATs and #NAMs. It only takes a few mins so please help out and share with your networks?

Interested in recent advances in human tissue modeling?

We explored the latest 3D in vitro models that mimic dysfunctional adipose tissue and its implications in obesity.

(3/3) 'Replacing' is a verb. A present participle. An active, *doing* word, so let's just get on with it!! 🙏👊💪

(1/3) Our small-but-mighty organisation has evolved. 🤗
For 50+ ys we've been the Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments, or FRAME. Now we are #ReplacingAnimalResearch!! @ReplAnimalRes
#NATs #NAMs

[Replacing Animal Research @ReplAnimalRes]

You might have known us as FRAME (Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments) but now it's time to (re)introduce ourselves:

Hi, we're Replacing Animal Research!

New name, new look, same mission: a better world for animals and humans.

[Dr Juliet Dukes 🐁 @DrDoox]

(2/3)
🐁 We're still funding researchers developing animal-free techniques.
🐁 We're still helping scientists and other stakeholders transition away from animal use.
🐁 We're still advocating for Replacement to be a top priority in science.

And in #WPY60's final young category, 15 - 17 Year Olds, is Alexis Tinker-Tsavalas (Germany)!

Alexis rolled a log over to see the fruiting bodies of slime mould and a 2mm springtail 😮

He had to be quick and used focus stacking, combining 36 images with different focus areas.

It was an ace opp to talk to the lovely folk of 4 Scots Unis @dundeeuni @aberdeenuni @RobertGordonUni and @univofstandrews about #Replacement and alternatives to #AnimalResearch, and to see some @FRAMEcharity funded work 'in the wild' thanks to @RGUSPASPH Dr Janine Coombes!

[Replacing Animal Research @ReplAnimalRes]

Today our wonderful Research Manager @DrDoox is at "Behind Lab Doors: Transparency and Ethics in Animal Research seminar" giving a talk on 'The R of Replacement' and why it's vital to ensure a better future for animals and humans.

Israel destroyed every hospital in Gaza with this lie. Israel destroyed every school, most of the homes, most of the infrastructure. Now the same lie is being recycled to bomb tents

Want to do #bioscience at #Uni? Concerned about #Animalresearch? @FRAMEcharity made this to help students coose the right course.
Wish I'd had this kind of nuanced info when doing my #Alevels, but things were a bit different over 3 decades ago...
[OVER 3 DECADES AGO. WELP. 🤯]

A pregnant woman and six children are amongst the twelve people who died when their boats capsized in the Channel, French officials say. I don’t know how much more horror needs to occur before politicians will find the nerve to provide safe routes for asylum. Few words are left.

[Kent Refugee Action Network (KRAN) @_KRAN_]

Enough. No child must ever again lose their life trying to seek safety.

The government has no option other than to introduce safe routes. Now.

#PSA Good news, everybody! The marvellous Syedia Rahman, a PhD student in the @FRAMEcharity funded lab at @UniofNottingham working in #animalfree human liver fibrosis and supervised by @andrewjohnbenne passed her PhD viva today! Congrats, Dr Rahman! 🥳🙌🎉

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

while many will breath a sigh of relief, the reality is many community events have been cancelled/ postponed this weekend. A hike for Muslim women, a picnic for Muslims in tech to name a few. People are sharing what to do in an event of an acid attack. None of this is normal

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

-Applications for care worker visas are down 81% on last year
-Student visa applications down 16%
-Skilled worker apps also down but only from a brief spike earlier this year

Govt must take extreme care with coms on this given context of racist anti-migrant hate #r4today
