About this event
Animal research is often framed as a necessary sacrifice for medical progress. Whatβs rarely discussed is the profound psychological harm carried by the people performing this work.
During World Week for Animals in Laboratories, Justify invites you to a FREE webinar exploring:
- The emotional realities of working in animal labs
- The difference between compassion fatigue and moral injury
- The long-term mental health impacts on lab workers
- Firsthand stories from former animal lab workers (Mayo Asada, Matthew Bryson, and Leyla Fox)
- How human-relevant science offers a better path forward
Hosted by Justify CEO Lindsay Oliver and Executive Director Madeline Krasno, this conversation centers both animals and the people behind the experiments and why ethical science must protect both. A Q&A will follow the presentation and panel.
There will be a Q&A configuration where you can submit questions for the panelists during the webinar.
