Coalition to Illuminate and Address Animal Methods Bias

@thecolaab.bsky.social

Today, “being part of COLAAB feels like a full-circle moment."

Emily hopes the coalition's work will help ensure that future researchers are not steered toward careers "misaligned with their morals and their desire to make a genuine difference."

@jeremythegoose.bsky.social

Not according to their ‘about’ page:
“EthicalJobs advertises roles where the primary focus of the role or organisation is on contributing to social justice, social equity or environmental sustainability.”

They state that almost any organisation can advertise jobs that meet the criteria.
