Hello. I'm a freelance scientific adviser. I've worked for almost 20 years specifically for scientific organisations and NGOs who raise awareness on the need for transition towards modern, scientific research methods for both scientific and ethical reasons and away from relying on outdated and poorly predictive preclinical (animal) tests both in the regulatory testing field and academic research. Prior to this, I worked for a decade in the pharmaceutical industry on clinical trials for new drugs and saw first hand the need for human relevant data. I provide educational talks as well as alternatives involving modern scientific methods. I'm pleased to speak to any audiences on this topic, given the increasing public interest on cruelty free products, drug research and the urgent need to improve the safety of new medicines and consumer products and also the need for ethical and reliable veterinary research. The public is often surprised to find out that animal testing continues routinely and there is a strong interest in finding out more. I have until now provided talks in schools, sixth form colleges and universities but am glad to extend to wider audiences. Talks can be arranged as required. Presentations are usually via Powerpoint and between 50 minutes-1 hour duration, possibly including a short film, but shorter talks can be arranged to suit, also either in person or via webinar/zoom, whichever is preferred. I'm also glad to just chat informally without slides if preferred. Please feel free to email with any questions or just a chat to find out more. Thanks and Best wishes, Rebecca
