Introducing the 3Hs initiative: improving the wellbeing of rodents in research

Join Prof Emma Robinson & Dr Nikki Osborne for this FREE Responsible Research webinar "Introducing the 3Hs initiative, a framework to improve the wellbeing of rodents in research".

During this session Emma (Professor of Psychopharmacology at the University of Bristol) will give an overview of the 3H's initiative and discuss how applying the principles of this framework can improve the lives of laboratory rodents. She will also answer any questions the audience may have.
