Abstract: What are rats and mice really like? What does it mean to provide laboratory rodents with a good life? The aim of this talk is to challenge existing preconceptions about what constitutes a "normal" laboratory rat or mouse. This lecture will showcase videos and data on laboratory rodents' motivation to perform natural behaviors, focusing on burrowing, climbing, and upright standing in rats, as well as the importance of having separate nesting and elimination sites in mice. Creative ideas for how to implement some changes in a conventional facility will be covered.Presenter: Dr. Joanna MakowskaJoanna Makowska is an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia and laboratory animal adviser at the Animal Welfare Institute.Joanna obtained her Ph.D. from the Animal Welfare Program at the University of British Columbia, where her work focused on laboratory rat housing and how it affects rat welfare.
