| Description: | This workshop aims to encourage animal technologists (ATs) to actively promote and help to implement the Three Rs within their daily work in the animal facility. Replacement and Reduction will be mentioned in the context of the need for ATs to be aware of current issues and inform themselves appropriately, but the workshop will focus on refinement, as this ‘R’ benefits most from the expertise and perspective of the AT. |
