Description
Title: Of Mice and Not Men: Empowering Next-Gen Scientists for Careers in NAMs (panel discussion)Chairs: Keith Brunt, Dalhousie University & Sue Gibbs, Amsterdam University Medical Center / ACTA
In the third decade of the 21st century, it is paradoxical that animal data still serve as the gold, silver, and bronze standards while the ultimate goal of the scientific community is to advance knowledge and science for the benefit of humans. The main focus of this solution-room workshop is to address the pervasive “animal data bias” entrenched in the contemporary scientific culture—where animal studies are all too often requested to validate human biology-based studies. Through a moderated panel discussion with audience participation, the goal is to collate ideas for a bottom-up approach to support next-gen NAM scientists in navigating the treacherous waters of grant and journal reviews to obtain funding, publish, and build a successful career without having to generate new animal data. We hope to produce a workshop report to share the ideas widely among the 3Rs community and beyond.
