Our first highlight of the day is on Charli Corcoran (@CharliCorcoran), who first started working with #zebrafish 10 years ago and is currently a Facility Tech @modelzebrafish @EdinUni_IGC @EdinburghUni. She is a strong proponent of community outreach and science communication as Charli and her colleagues have won numerous awards recognizing their efforts. Outside of work, she likes to run, coach gymnastics and make clothing for her kids. Her favourite transgenic line is Tg(mitfa:gfp).

We are so proud of our fantastic zebrafish team. Not only do they underping our critical medical research, they also take extra time to explain the use, care and welfare of our zebrafish to our local community - thanks and congratulations @ModelZebrafish!

Through animal research, we have gained a better understanding of the brain, but we need more research to further learn about it and how it works with the rest of our body. You can visit our website for more information on brain research: understandinganimalresearch.… #AnimalResearch

Today marks the beginning of @InstAnimalTech's #TechMonth! Without animal technicians, we wouldn’t be able to uphold the high standards of care and welfare afforded to animal research in the UK. Thank you, animal technicians, for your passion, dedication, and compassion! (1/2)

How much #AnimalResearch uses fish? You might be surprised that fish are the second most used animal in GB research. In 2021, a total of 424,134 procedures were carried out using #FishInResearch 39% for creation and breeding 61% for research purposes
