Скачать или смотреть Animal Free Labcast EP47 - Government Strategy to Replace Animals in Science

In this special episode, Carla Owen and Dr Gemma Davis speak with Public Affairs Manager Aaron Davidson about the UK Government’s new strategy to accelerate the phase-out of animal testing. They outline key positives, including a clearer commitment to full replacement, investment in human-specific research hubs, better training for early-career scientists and steps to reduce publication bias.

They also discuss how sustained advocacy helped shape the strategy, alongside the gaps that remain, such as the lack of legal deadlines, limited funding, and vague commitments. The team emphasise that while this is an important milestone, further action is needed to deliver a truly animal-free research system.
