Do you have firsthand experience in animal research and want to help create change?
Perhaps you spent years working in a laboratory. Maybe you completed a class that involved animal use or dissection, served on an IACUC, attended veterinary or pharmacy school, conducted research as a student, or worked with lab animals in any professional, educational, or oversight capacity.
Whether you choose to connect quietly, share your story anonymously, join our private support groups, write an article for This Just In, or help shape the future of science, your insights and experiences matter.
