New Column: “Beyond Animal Research”
 Given
the growing concern worldwide about the ethical and scientific problems
with animal experiments, PCRM is pleased to announce a new monthly
column on the topic. Jonathan Balcombe, Ph.D., a British-based research
consultant who promotes alternatives to animal experiments, is penning
a monthly piece
for PCRM’s Web site.
An ethologist, Balcome has just completed two major scientific
reviews for PCRM, both on the pain and distress that even routine
lab experiments cause animals. The first paper is scheduled for
publication this November in Contemporary Topics in Laboratory
Animal Science.
Balcombe is the author of The Use of Animals in Higher Education,
as well as many articles on humane life science education and scientific
papers on animal behavior. He was formerly an associate director
with The Humane Society of the United States and research coordinator
with Immersion Medical, a medical simulation company.
