Be Open About Animal Research Day 2022: #TransparencyThursday

EARA #TransparencyThursday, which features regularly on our Instagram feed (and also on YouTube), is an initiative that gives the public the chance to hear scientists explain about why they use animals in their research.

During Be Open About Animal Research Day 2022 (#BOARD22), scientists and communicators from different organisations and institutions answered questions on how and why there is a need for openness and transparency on animal research.
