Defending the Middle Ground: Why We Need to Talk About Animal Research

Animal research is frequently a closed topic, both institutions and individual scientists have been very reluctant to discuss it publicly. However, the MDC has a tradition of transparency and as part of a wider movement to make science more open to society this is changing in other places as well.
