Even though we can't connect in person, we invite you to connect with us virtually. In addition to our online booth we also have a 3Rs focused poster & a podcasting focused presentation.


PIG REFINEMENT

Visit our pig resource page to learn more about the latest best practices. We link to extensive resources on social housing, enrichment, handling & training, blood sampling, and more. Thanks to Sarah Thurston (U. of Michigan) for drafting this pages.
PRIMATE REFINEMENT

Housing, handling, & more

Visit our non-human primate resource page to learn more about the latest best practices. We link to extensive resources on social housing, enrichment, handling & training, blood sampling, and more. Thanks to Jennifer McMillan (Yerkes/Emory) for drafting this page.
MICROPHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS INITIATIVE

Organs-on-a-chip & more

Our MPS Initiative is gaining momentum for this exciting reduction/replacement technology. Our latest call had participation from 24 institutions of mostly tech providers. Contact us to participate and stay tuned for future impacts.
3Rs BOOK ALERT

Animal-centric care & management: Enhancing refinement in biomedical research

Our 3Rs Fellow (Megan LaFollette) & a member of our refinement group (Sarah Thurston, U. of Michigan) wrote chapters in the latest book on refinement in animal research. Chapters cover general topics such as human-animal interactions, a culture of care, abnormal behaviors, & practical animal training. There are also chapters on refining work with species such as zebrafish, mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, non-human primates, and pigs.
3-MIN 3Rs PODCAST

Want to learn about the latest 3Rs research, but don't have much time? Listen to 3-Minute 3Rs where we share 3 new articles in just 3 minutes! In October we discuss aggression in male mice, development of a microphysiological system for human small airway epithelial, and publication rate in preclinical research. Produced by Lab Animal in conjunction with NC3Rs.

As you can see, NA3RsC is working hard to advance the science and education of refining, reducing, and replacing animals in laboratory research. Your donation to the North American 3Rs Collaborative will enable us to expand these efforts.

We are grateful to our current sponsors for supporting our 3Rs efforts
