SUMMARY:Laboratory Animal Welfare Workshop 1: Foundations of Pain and Distress Management in Rodents and Rabbits
DESCRIPTION:Our regular workshops on prevention and alleviation of pain and distress have dealt primarily with post-surgical pain. Although we’ve had overwhelmingly positive feedback\, we have had frequent requests to include more information on other sources of pain and distress. Matt Leach\, Jon Gledhill and I have been working to achieve this\, and have redeveloped and updated our workshops for 2025. We will now present two\, linked workshops on pain and distress and the first of these will run in May this year (21-22nd for the zoom sessions). We will retain the successful on-line format of a mix of e-learning\, pre-recorded webinars and live\, problem based sessions using zoom and mentimeter. This first workshop focusses on optimising the welfare of laboratory rodents and rabbits and will discuss both procedure-related and other sources of pain and distress. It will provide an overview of animal welfare and the nature of stress and distress\, together with the practical application of this knowledge to optimise animal welfare.

SUMMARY:Recognition of pain\, suffering and distress
DESCRIPTION:This unit prepares individuals to be able to identify normal condition and behaviour of experimental animals and enable them to differentiate between a normal animal and one which is showing signs of pain\, suffering or distress which could be a result of factors including environment\, husbandry or the effect of experimental protocols. It will also provide information regarding severity classifications\, cumulative severity and the use of humane endpoints. \nOnline only – 20th to 22nd May 2025. \nWe highly recommend completion of the level 4 unit Physiology of pain and distress in laboratory animals before attending this unit. \nCourse Details\nCourse length: 200 hours \nCredits: 20 \nTeacher: Paul Flecknell / Matt Leach \nYou will cover\n\nAssessment of the animal\nHumane end points\nRefinement\n\nKey Skills you will develop\n\nmethods for assessing and recording the welfare of the animals in your care\nKnowledge and understanding of humane end points and their use\nAbility to describe the use of anaesthesia or analgesia to reduce animal pain\, suffering\, distress or lasting harm

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: PUBLISHING ANIMAL USE STATISTICS
DESCRIPTION:In the lead up to the publication of Great Britain’s 2024 animal research statistics\, this webinar will look at how Concordat on Openness signatories proactively share their animal use data with the public. We will look at how this complex data can be used to explain why\, how and when animals are used in scientific research. This will include looking at how the data is presented\, what data to include\, and how supporting information such as case studies can give additional context. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will primarily focus on giving advice to organisations that carry out animal research who want to explore new ways to present this data. However\, we will also include tips for funders who want advice on how to share data on the proportion of research they fund that involves animals.

SUMMARY:LMB Seminar: One or two membranes? 
DESCRIPTION:Investigating the transition between monoderm and diderm cell envelopes across the Tree of Bacteria – In person only.\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Simonetta Gribaldo\, Institut Pasteur \n\n\n\nThe cell envelope is one of the oldest and most fundamental biological structures\, and a major target of antimicrobials. Bacteria can have radically different envelopes\, containing either one (monoderm) or two (diderm) membranes\, generally known as Gram-positives and Gram-negatives. How and why such dramatic transition occurred has remained a major open question in evolutionary biology. In my talk\, I will present recent data where we addressed this issue by merging large-scale computational analyses with experimental evolution using a new bacterial model at the interface between diderms and monoderms. Our results challenge established paradigms and propose a hypothesis on how the monoderm/diderm transition might have occurred. \n\n\n\nMax Perutz Lecture Theatre\, LMB and Webinar.

SUMMARY:CLAST - Principles of surgery
DESCRIPTION:This unit covers principles of pre-operative animal assessment and care\, preparations for surgery including equipment preparation and aseptic technique and the principles of successful surgery. The unit provides information about possible complications\, post-operative care and monitoring along with details of the healing process. It also covers more practical elements\, for example\, the demonstration of commonly used instruments and provides an opportunity for trainees to practice some of the practical aspects of surgical technique\, such as methods of suturing\, using appropriate non-animal models. \n\n\n\nOnline only – 10th and 11th of March 2025. \n\n\n\nWe highly recommend completion of the level 5 units Anaesthesia for minor procedures\, and Advanced anaesthesia for surgical or prolonged procedures before attending this unit.  \n\n\n\nYou will cover\n\n\n\n\nAnatomy and physiology\n\n\n\nLegislation\n\n\n\nSurgical procedures\n\n\n\nRefinement\n\n\n\nTissue healing\n\n\n\nProblems\n\n\n\nRecord keeping\n\n\n\n\nKey Skills you will develop\n\n\n\nAbility to demonstrate competence in surgical techniques\, including ablations and incisions and their closure by methods appropriate to the tissue concerned \n\n\n\nAbility to describe the planning of surgical procedures and discuss the competencies required of all personnel involved \n\n\n\nKnowledge and understanding of possible causes of delayed or impaired wound healing or other post-surgical complications and describe ways in which these can be avoided or\, if they occur\, treated

SUMMARY:Schools' Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:At Schools’ Day\, students from schools all over Cambridgeshire and beyond gather at the Institute to discover more about our world-leading bioscience research. \nLed by Institute researchers and bioscience organisations at the Babraham Research Campus\, secondary and sixth-form students complete hands-on lab projects. \nSchools’ Day is for students in Years 10-13. Typically\, up to 5 students per school or sixth form may attend\, although more places may be offered if capacity allows. \nOften using equipment not available within schools\, Schools’ Day aims to enthuse\, inspire and motivate students and provide insight into what life is really like in the lab. Projects allow students to find out about current scientific research and solving real-world challenges using cutting-edge techniques and equipment. \nSchools’ Day is especially aimed at students from across Cambridgeshire and local areas but has welcomed groups from across the UK and abroad. Over 250 students and teachers attended last spring\, and we hope our 2025 event will see even more young people engaging with bioscience.
