LINKS
The following links were selected because they contain information and resources of interest to the U.S. and International Scientific Community. For a complete list of related Web sites linked to Altweb, check out the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) related links page.
We're always looking for new Web sites, provided they support the concept of the "Three Rs." We define alternatives as methods that refine existing tests to lessen animal pain and distress, reduce the number of animals needed for a test, or replace animals with other methods. If you have a site to recommend, let us know!
We've also compiled a list of the many other 3Rs centers from around the globe.
