🧠 Researchers at EARA members @vibai.bsky.social & @cbdresearch.bsky.social have used #AI, trained on human and animal data, to shed light on #BrainEvolution and how this may give clues to #BrainDiseases. www.eara.eu/post/insight...

EARA will be presenting at this second COST TEATIME webinar in May on communicating #AnimalResearch – stay tuned!

πŸ—£οΈβ„ΉοΈHow do we prevent misinformation? By talking about it, without reservations and full openness. 🧫🐁It is the same with science communication and #AnimalResearch specifically. πŸ’‰πŸ’‘Even if you somehow oppose it… know why it is still needed.

250+ experts in Canada have voiced their views about the essential role of monkeys in developing new medical treatments, challenging a letter from a group of academics that called for an end to Quebec imports of long-tailed macaques. #AnimalResearch #Monkeys www.lapresse.ca/actualites/2...

πŸ‘οΈ Hydrogel eyedrops have been developed by EARA member @uoft.bsky.social as a more effective and longer-lasting treatment for #glaucoma eye disease, in a study with #rats. #AnimalResearch www.eara.eu/post/innovat...
