This is fabulous-- focusing on helping the health of people who menstruate, and NOT using animal models but more advanced science. 🧪 #health #animalfreescience #menstruation

The @mit.edu Health and Life Sciences Collaborative has announced a "moonshot for menstruation science."

Led by Dr. Linda Griffith, researchers will use human organ-chip models to study sex-based immune differences driving #endometriosis, #lupus, #Lyme, & more. 🧪

On the left, a photograph of a woman wearing white resting her head on her knees and holding her lower abdomen. On the right, the following quote: “The chip allows the researchers to do preclinical testing of drugs on the human patient-derived endometriosis model rather than on laboratory animals, which often do not menstruate naturally and whose immune systems function differently than that of humans.” The quote is attributed to Michaela Jarvis and is from a July 18, 2025 article in MIT News.

Most animal experiments aren’t required by law.
Over 50% happen in universities — many funded by student fees.
Our #UniversitiesChallenged campaign exposes needless, non-regulatory research and calls for modern, animal-free science. 💚

My copy of @melaniedgkaplan.bsky.social 's LAB DOG is here! Beautiful non-fiction about her adopted former laboratory beagle Hammy. She writes her way through an exploration of dogs in biomedical science to visions of a better kinder future. #dogs #science #animalfreescience #Booksky #animalrights
The cover of Lab Dog features a photo of Hammy and a subtitle that refers to the world of animal research.

On Sept 18 I’ll speak at Fauna Connections (free & online).
I’ll share why animal experiments persist despite failing humans & animals—and how advocates can help shift the story toward humane, human-relevant science.
