How ‘animal methods bias’ is affecting research careers - A Nature Careers feature

Christine Ro has recently interviewed various researchers, including Team RNA's Dr Laura Sinclair, to further understand how the use of animals in research is affecting careers.

The impact on researchers includes early-career pressure to use animal models, publication difficulties when using non-animal methods due to biased reviews, funding obstacles, and career trajectories steering ECRs towards animal-based research. To find out more about Christine's findings, and read what Dr Laura Sinclair had to say about being an animal free researcher, please view the article here.
