Catharine E. Krebs of the COLAAB and @PCRM presented a poster on #AnimalMethodsBias at #ASCCT this week! She discussed what we know about this phenomenon, its damaging effects on researchers who use #NAMs, what remains TBD, and our recommendations for overcoming it.

There was an exciting development toward mitigating animal methods bias at the recent @NIH @CSRpeerreview Advisory Council meeting! 🧵

A newly developed Reviewer Evaluation Framework presented at the September Advisory Council meeting includes the need to ensure grant reviewers don't harbor scientific or methodological biases, signaling an important shift in the way the agency is thinking about unfounded biases against certain methods."

What should the undergraduate immunology curriculum look like? 🤔The BSI Teaching Affinity Group wants to hear from BSI members who teach immunology about your experience of the curriculum - look out for an email from the BSI with more information…. 🍎 @Nige1980

Do some grant reviewers have preferences for animal experiments? Does this impact the funding of grants that propose human-based in vitro approaches? What can we do to address this growing concern? 📌SAVE THE DATE 📌 for a virtual workshop discussing these topics on May 16th!
