Continuing Education (CE): This webinar meets AALAS and CALAS requirements for 1.00 hour of CE and can be used elsewhere where accepted. A certificate of attendance will be emailed to all attendees within a few hours after the webinar concludes.
Presenters: Wendy Jarrett, Chief Executive, Understanding Animal Research (UAR) and Paula Clifford, MLA, CVT, RLATG, Executive Director, Americans for Medical Progress (AMP)
Overview: Medical research involving animals is often misunderstood by the public and policymakers. This lack of understanding is easily exploited by groups that oppose research involving animals, leading to serious consequences that limit and, in some cases, ban animal studies. We need to act now to stop the downward momentum and build up public understanding and acceptance of this important work. International openness initiatives have had positive results. Session attendees will learn about animal research openness activities in the UK and the US, their impacts and progress, and how you can get involved. Cindy A. Buckmaster, PhD, CMAR, RLATG, will moderate this presentation.

Continuing Education (CE): This webinar meets AALAS and CALAS requirements for 1.00 hour of CE and can be used elsewhere where accepted. A certificate of attendance will be emailed to all attendees within three business days of the event.
Presenter: Dr. Thomas D. Prevot, PhD, Staff Scientist, Assistant Professor, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, ON, Canada
Moderator: Cindy A. Buckmaster, PhD, CMAR, RLATG
Overview: This session will offer a comprehensive exploration of animal welfare within laboratory settings, with a specific emphasis on mice. While numerous studies have highlighted the amiable nature of rats during interactions with experimenters and caregivers, mice often face the challenge of being perceived as difficult to handle, unpredictable, and resistant to acclimating to human interactions. Dr. Thomas Prevot will share insights into a method developed by his research group to alleviate stress and reactivity in mice. The presentation will encompass a step-by-step guide, enabling other research groups to experiment with and potentially adopt this technique within their laboratories. Additionally, Dr. Prevot will present supporting data illustrating the profound impact of this three-day intervention on both animal behavior and welfare, as well as its effects on the well-being of caregivers. The aim is to not only dispel the stigma associated with working with mice but also to encourage the wider adoption of effective strategies for enhancing the overall welfare of animals in laboratory environments.
