Key organisations in the development of the 3Rs

ECVAM - the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods
CAAT - the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing
Example of the 3Rs
The Neuronal Naturalist - Review in Nature Neuroscience of how non-invasive imaging techniques yield better-quality science because it is dynamic.
Mouse Specifics, Inc. - developing techniques for more humane treatment of mice in experiments. This is actually a commercial enterprise focussing on alternatives; maybe a few more companies could get a clue?
Altweb - alternatives to animal testing on the web, as hosted by the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
