Mice & rats are often used as ‘models’ of breast cancer 🐹😪 many suffer in experiments each year. Breast Cancer UK don't fund/conduct animal experiments 'ensuring animals don’t suffer in the name of breast cancer research.’ 🎉 #ScienceNotSacrifice #BetterScience

World Day for Animals in Laboratories Annually, around 3 million animals are experimented on in Great Britain, causing harm, distress & death. Today we ask you spare a thought for the animals who suffer in labs, in Great Britain & worldwide. #ScienceNotSacrifice #BetterScience

Non-human animals are unreliable models of human disease, which has led to disastrous results in humans. This is because of differences between humans and other animals. Chocolate is poisonous to dogs 🐶 Paracetamol is toxic to cats 🐱 #ScienceNotSacrifice #BetterScience

Over 2 million experiments used mice in Great Britain in 2020 😪 Did you know: 🐭 Mice are nocturnal, sleeping in the day & playing & foraging throughout the night 🐭 Female mice can make up to 150 trips to gather materials for their nests #ScienceNotSacrifice #BetterScience

This is 'Angel', a rescue rat. Most people don't realise how sociable, clean, intelligent and 'human-like' rats really are! 🐀 Did you know, if a rat is very happy and relaxed they may even giggle when you tickle them!? 😍 #Rats #AnimalKind #ScienceNotSacrifice @XCellR8_labs

The Lush Prize showcases innovations, offering a prize fund to support initiatives to end & replace animal testing. 👏😻 XCellR8, who we've funded, were a winner of the Lush Training Prize in 2013. We'll be talking about them later today! 😍 #ScienceNotSacrifice #BetterScience

We’ve invested years of research into developing adaptations of existing safety tests, where ALL animal components have been eliminated creating a 100% animal-product-free testing process 🙌 ✅ Animal-free ✅ Vegan ✅ Advanced Science #ScienceNotSacrifice #RedefiningTesting

Welcome to our Future of Science student conference! 👏🧬🧪🧫 #BetterScience #FutureOfScience #ScienceNotSacrifice

Today is #WorldAnimalFreeResearchDay 👨‍🔬 Let’s work together to create a future where animal experiments are replaced with cutting-edge, human relevant techniques #UnitedForKinderScience 💙 @AFR_UK #ScienceNotSacrifice #RedefiningTesting #animalfreetesting

Why are we still using animal testing, when there are so many better, safer methods available? We have a brand-new animation about animal experiments coming out next Tuesday! #AnimalFreeTesting #BetterScience #KinderScience #SaferScience #ScienceNotSacrifice @XCellR8_labs 😘

We've eliminated the use of ALL animal-derived components in our lab - WHY? ⬇️ #RedefiningTesting #ScienceNotSacrifice #animalfreetesting #usesciencenotanimals

Repeat after me: Animal-product-free approaches maximise BOTH the human relevance and reproducibility of the test results #ScienceNotSacrifice #animalfreetesting #endanimaltesting #betterscience #RedefiningTesting

Cheers to scientifically and ethically advanced testing: 100% animal-product-free 🙌 #animalfreetesting #RedefiningTesting #ScienceNotSacrifice

Students are super excited for the lab tour at @XCellR8_labs 🧬🧪🧫 #BetterScience #FutureOfScience #ScienceNotSacrifice #students

It's time for better science; safer for people, kinder for animals. Give them a follow today for good news and updates 👉 @XCellR8_labs #BetterScience #ScienceNotSacrifice #WorldAnimalFreeResearchDay 🧬 🧫 🧪 🔬

Calling all European Citizens! Please take a few minutes to help #SaveCrueltyFreeCosmetics! The EU ban on #animaltesting for cosmetics is under threat and we must fight to keep it. I’ll post the link in the comments. Please share! #crueltyfree #cosmetics #ScienceNotSacrifice

Thanks to everyone at our Future of Science student conference – we've had great feedback from the students who were particularly inspired by the laboratory tours with the brilliant @XCellR8_labs 🥽🧬🧫🧪🥼 #FutureofScience #BetterScience #SaferScience #ScienceNotSacrifice

Thanks to our wonderful speakers at this week's #FutureofScience student conference! It was so inspiring to see the response from students who learned they can still have a career in science without animal testing! 🙌 🧪🧫🧬 #ScienceNotSacrifice #BetterScience #SaferScience
