SfN Sends Letter in Support of Behavioral Research in Animals
Feb 10, 2015
SfN recently delivered a letter in support of responsibly conducted animal research to four members of Congress. Signed by the president of the Society for Neuroscience, Steve Hyman, and the chair of SfN’s Committee on Animals in Research, Michael Goldberg, the letter was prompted by recent inquiries by Representatives Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA), Dina Titus (D-NV), Sam Farr (D-CA), and Eliot Engel (D-NY) about research being conducted at NIH. The letter expresses “the Society’s support for the critically important work being conducted at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).”
