News

This page contains news items which we have generated (below) and news from the mass media (right margin).

The links in the right margin have been generated by an automatic newsfeed service provided by Meltwater News (previously called Magenta News) using an agent programmed to find articles about animal research and alternatives.  The service is programmed at present to provide English and Scandinavian-language news from the EU member states, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
   We have also compiled a list of email alerting services of relevance to laboratory animal science.
   We accept no responsibility for the content of the articles in the right margin or those supplied by other alerting services, and we do not necessarily agree with the views expressed there.  This also applies to other press release services which may be of value, such as NTB and www.pressenytt.no.
