We’re celebrating recent achievements from IFER Fellows advancing humane science. From Harvard, University of Maryland, and NYU, these early-career researchers are replacing animal tests with smarter, human-relevant methods. #HumaneScience #EndAnimalTesting #FutureOfScience

We’re thrilled to see two of our Humane Science Award winners featured in the news! Their work proves that innovation and compassion can go hand in hand—and every story like this brings us closer to a future without animal testing. abcnews4.com/news/local/sc-…

A STAT News article highlights a major shift in biomedical research: the FDA is phasing out animal testing in favor of human-relevant methods like organ-on-chip systems and AI modeling. This move could save animals and improve drug discovery. Read more: statnews.com/2025/05/19/ani…

NAVS is first to release 2024 USDA data on animals used in labs. For the first time, birds are included—and overall use dropped nearly 10%. A major step for transparency. Help us keep pushing forward: bit.ly/4dWATsu #StopAnimalTesting #EndAnimalTesting #StopAnimalTests

Today on National #AnimalSanctuaryCaregiverDay, we honor those who help animals heal from lives in labs and captivity. NAVS supports sanctuaries through ASAP grants—but it’s the caregivers who make recovery possible. Thank you! bit.ly/3TmFo65

The USDA’s data is in: Guinea pig use down 26.8%. Cat use down 14.3%. Pig use down 13%. Progress is happening—but 56,601 animals still suffered without pain relief. Learn more! Support the fight to end animal testing: bit.ly/4dWATsu #StopAnimalTesting #EndAnimalTesting

Birds counted. Dogs, primates, and sheep declining. Agencies shifting to non-animal methods. Change is possible—but only if we act. Learn more about the USDA’s 2024 report on animals used in research: bit.ly/4dWATsu #StopAnimalTesting #EndAnimalTesting #StopAnimalTests

Thanks to you, NAVS led the release of critical animal use data. But the goal isn’t reporting—it’s replacement. Help us eliminate animal testing for good. Get involved today: navs.org/get-involved/ #StopAnimalTesting #EndAnimalTesting #StopAnimalTests #StopHurtingAnimals

Big news! NAVS has launched its new Woman’s Board—a dynamic group of leaders dedicated to advancing humane science. Kicked off May 28 with members from across the U.S.! #NAVS #WomenInSTEM #HumaneScience #VolunteerLeadership

Victory in Connecticut! HB 6277 expands post-research adoption, giving more animals a second chance at life. Thank you to our supporters who took action—your voice made this possible. Let's keep the momentum going. #EndAnimalTesting #StopAnimalTesting #AnimalRights

NAVS is proud to support a new chapter for chimpanzees retired from government research. A recent ASAP grant is helping Chimp Haven provide enrichment and healing for chimps transferred from Alamogordo. Read more about their journey: bit.ly/4ngxQ2H

Science is evolving—and NAVS is leading the way. Explore how breakthroughs in non-animal testing tools like organs-on-chips and human-relevant models are gaining traction across federal agencies and research institutions. Discover why now is the tipping point toward ending animal

Historic win: The U.S. Navy has ended all testing on dogs and cats, marking a turning point for humane science. This milestone adds to growing federal momentum for non-animal methods. Thank you for helping make this change possible. Read more: floridianpress.com/2025/05/navy-t…

Science is shifting—and Wisconsin is leading the charge. A Madison biotech startup is using 3D human organoids to develop Alzheimer’s treatments without animals, aligning with FDA and NIH plans to advance non-animal methods. It’s proof that human-relevant science is the future.

Aadi Bhensdadia, a high school student from Sarasota, is revolutionizing cardiac research with a heart-on-a-chip model—no animals needed. As one of our Humane Science Award winners at ISEF, Aadi shows that science can be effective and humane. Let’s celebrate Aadi Bhensdadia’s

Over 42,000 dogs were used in U.S. labs in 2024—407 endured painful procedures with no pain relief. Only 17 states require adoption for healthy dogs post-research. These #FridayFacts shows why we urgently need humane, human-relevant science. navs.org/insight/dogs-i…

Big news: NIH will no longer issue funding calls that only support animal research. All new opportunities must allow for human-focused methods like clinical trials, real-world data, and New Approach Methodologies. A turning point for ethical, human-relevant science.

Humane teaching tools aren’t just ethical—they work. See how one teacher’s classroom proves these innovative alternatives provide students with a better learning experience. bit.ly/46VsK5Z #BetterScience #EndAnimalTesting #HumaneScience #BioLEAP

In 2024, over 111,000 rabbits were used in U.S. labs—and 2,617 endured experiments without pain relief. It’s time for change. Learn more about how rabbits and other animals are exploited in the name of science. navs.org/insight/rabbit… #FridayFacts #EndAnimalTesting
