April 2024• 5BulletinKeep Reading!Carole As I write this, I have just returned from Congress, having had a great time in Aberdeen, one of the highlights, for me, being the karaoke! Of course, Congress – like all conferences also represents an excellent opportunity for CPD (continuous professional development), as well as the prospect of having great fun. Mark Gardiner (previous Honorary Member of the IAT) recently won an award certi cate from the Science Council, celebrating his outstanding professional development in science. He has written about winning and what CPD means to him on page 7. It is well worth a read, as it really explains the importance of this area of life to us all. Carrying on with the theme of CPD, many things can be considered – we have annual general meeting reports from both West of Scotland (WoS) and Surrey, Hampshire and Sussex (SH&S) Branches. Again, these would both be considered development opportunities – down in Guildford they had a presentation covering the history of Surrey Diagnostics, you can read this on pages 30-31. The WoS Branch had three presentations, all covering scienti c themes on pages 23 – 28. Indeed, when I read the precis of the talk on the effect of a novel δGABAA, I followed up with some more CPD of my own, as I read another paper to make sure I understood the subject.The Scotland Tech Day also had more presentations and therefore more opportunities for development but also included a talk on CLAST and training which is another source of continued education. You can see this report on pages 12 – 17.If you  nd it dif cult to attend college, whatever the reason, or if you have already completed formal education, there are plenty of other sources to carryon learning – for example there are many papers you can access online, including Animal Technology and Welfare (ATW) at https://www.atwjournal.com/and more information on page 22. The NC3Rs also run free online courses – see page 21, and their website is also a valuable tool – https://nc3rs.org.uk/Finally, we have an image of Ken Applebee on the cover this month, as he recently retired from the IAT Council but more pertinently, has been incredibly active and involved in Animal Technologist/Technician training and education over the years, so much so he was awarded an OBE for his services to Animal Technician Education and Animal Technology.Dear Readers

BulletinApril 2024 • 7Science Council Award for Outstanding Professional Development in ScienceIt was a real surprise receiving an award certiﬁ cate from the Science Council for celebrating outstanding professional development in science.Especially, as continued professional development (CPD) to me, has always been about looking at the skills, knowledge and behaviours I require to enhance my job role and meet the challenges ahead. This could be reading papers, attending meetings, attending courses, professional discussions, listening to podcasts, etc. Anything really that ﬁ lls in the gaps. For example, Sustainability and Carbon Net Zero is a big topic at the moment so I recently attended an Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) course and now have a better understanding of the language used and can have a positive input at meetings.The most important part of CPD, to me, after gathering new information is to reﬂ ect on the content and ensure the gap has been ﬁ lled, if not, then where to next? As I get older, time is precious and I ﬁ nd it maddening when colleagues attend a course, only to place the material gained onto a shelf or nowadays into a ﬁ le on a PC. No reﬂ ection, no action plan and nothing gained. I also really feel that people get hung up on CPD and what to include. Actually, it is simply that you have learnt something new and then include it as part of your CPD. It really is that simple.Most of all, have fun collecting your CPD. Who knows where it will take you?Reporter: Mark GardinerThe most important part of CPD, to me, after gathering new information is to reﬂ ect on the content and ensure the gap has been ﬁ lled, if not, then where to next?

BulletinApril 2024 • 9An Apology to John Gbadegoye from the Congress CommitteeCongress 2024 Posters – Thank you and apologies!I hope everyone who attended Congress 2024 had an enjoyable and informative time. As organisers we were delighted to see so many of you at papers, in workshops, in the trade hall and viewing the posters. It makes the hours of work pulling the event together really rewarding.Amongst other tasks as part of the Congress Committee, my main responsibility is “Posters”. This year we had over 40 registered – an all-time record!Thank you so much to all of the authors for supplying such a variety of topics – it made the judging so very difﬁ cult and another thank you to everyone who took the time to view and discuss them. There was a great buzz at the ‘meet the authors’ sessions.With the pressures of work, timeframe and numbers of posters coming in, I owe one poster author a huge apology because I managed to mislabel John Gbadegoye’s poster with the wrong company logo in the handbook. What was worse, embarrassingly, I even managed to label it under a competitor’s logo! I have to say John was very gracious about it all, thank you John.Congratulations to our winners, all of the posters will be reprinted in future issues of Animal Technology and Welfare (ATW), so please look out for them and share them with colleagues and I promise to make sure every poster is badged correctly!Adele Kitching, IAT Congress Committee Enquiries to Congress Committee via congress@iat.org.ukCome and celebrate the IAT’s75th anniversary with us atCongress20254th - 7th MarchNORTH WEST VENUEDelivering a Full Scientiﬁc Programme addressing current themes Attend the wide range of Scientiﬁc Papers and Poster DisplaysVisit one of the largest Trade Exhibitions in the UKDetails for Congress 2025 will be available on the IAT websitewww.iat.org.uk and published in the monthly BulletinBookings will open September 2024The largest UK event run entirely for Animal Technologists and TechniciansCongress2025CONGRESS

Bulletin12 • April 2024 Scottish Tech Day 6th October 2023Setting up the Scottish Tech Day was a joint venture between three Scottish establishments: Dundee, Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities. The invitation went far and wide and you did not have to be Scottish to attend! Obviously, this was a great idea as we had around 60-70 technicians turn up for this in-person event. On arrival there was a delicious lunch laid on and a selection of trade stands to visit to see all the latest offerings from industry.We had four really interesting speakers discuss their work and a planned breakout enrichment discussion.Clicker Training in Mice Dr Nadine Baumgart, Expert for Laboratory Animal Sciences GV-SOLAS– PhD at the Institute for Immunology of the University Medical Center Mainz, Germany.– Since 2014 Head of a 3R research group at the (TARC (Translational Animal Research Centre) in the University Medical Center Mainz).– Currently Head of the TARCforce3R Center.– Animal Welfare Ofﬁcer, BC Klinik Ludwigshafen.Reﬁnement at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden – Stress-reduced handling of mice and rats Dr Matilda Bäckberg– Pharmacist and PhD in Neuroscience.– Director of the animal facility at RISE, which is a certiﬁed GLP toxicity laboratory.– RISE Research Institutes of Sweden conducts in vivo studies in the different steps of the preclinical drug development process (from exploratory studies to safety studies meeting regulatory criteria).

BulletinApril 2024 • 15Breakout groups at the Technicians Day Set-up to create discussion amongst different facilities. The topic of discussion largely focussed on the use of enrichment for the species at different establishments and consisted of the following questions:– What enrichment are you using and why?– Do you rotate this? Why and how often?– Introduction of novel objects?– Does your establishment have an enrichment strategy?– Ways of tackling single housing?– Importance of foraging?As mice were one of the largest groups used in animal research, this species was split into several groups and most groups agreed that similar enrichment was used at their establishments. The core enrichment required for each cage were tunnels/shelters such as dome homes, nesting, aspen chewsticks or aspen balls, with additional treats such as sunﬂ ower seeds, Nutella and the use of mezzanines, slings and Nombreros to enhance the use of space within the cage. These items however, were not rotated often or novel objects introduced. The groups also discussed that enrichment is provided as the standard and if there is any rotation of enrichment that this would likely be on a three-monthly basis.

Bulletin16 • April 2024 It was generally agreed across breakout groups that there was no enrichment strategy at their respective facilities, although there was one exception, some members observed that the lack of strategy was the sum of both custom and practice. Single housing, which can be detrimental to an animal’s health over time, was tackled by a number of different methods at different establishments. This included a requirement for scientiﬁ c justiﬁ cation of single housing being described on the PPL (legally, social animals must be housed in groups unless they are housed alone for welfare reasons); the use of companion males to maintain some social atmosphere where a male would otherwise be on his own; routine merging with females was also done, not only reduce single housing but to optimise the number of mice in the cage (a typical number of animals in a standard IVC cage, for example, being ﬁ ve mice).Foraging is important in replicating natural behaviour exhibited in rodents and several groups agreed that it is necessary to replicate this in laboratory animals. This was achieved by the addition of items such as sunﬂ ower seeds, red peanuts, or meal worms to promote burrowing.Another species discussed during this session were rats, in which several facilities described their methods of enrichment. One mentioned the use of ‘double-decker’ cages which allow rats to climb and stand upright, another had a playpen room designed for rats (containing tunnels, lab coat sleeves, a dig box, pea ﬁ shing and old racking boxes with ladders) into which rats go twice a week. Similarly, a different establishment had designed a playpen for rats to become more mobile and interact with new objects and mazes as a means of sensory enrichment and one facility had a veterinary student project which included the use of a water bath, bath towels and candy (but the rats were not so interested in the last of these). The general observation from this group was the preference for rats to climb.

BulletinApril 2024 • 17 Enrichment used for larger and lesser-known species being used at other facilities was mentioned and these included rabbits and guinea pigs which had the likes of pineapple or aspen chew blocks, large tunnels, rope pull cords, cardboard boxes, people and the radio but enrichment was generally not rotated. Other species discussed included cats (raised walkways and different levelled shelving, hanging beds and toys, sweeping brushes and people), Xenopus (plastic plants, lily pads and plastic hides) and bats (tea towels, hanging fruit, wicket baskets and buffalo worms).In conclusion, facilities have various means of providing enrichment to their animals with some implementing current ideas such as rat playpens/ playrooms to enhance enrichment further. However, it appeared that little evaluation had gone into whether what was provided was ‘the best’ for the animal. Going forward it is clear that a well-considered and suitably analysed enrichment strategy should be put into practice, to further develop this the NC3Rs, IAT and RSPCA https://nc3rs.org.uk/3rs-resources/evaluating-environmental-enrichment is a good resource to use. It is time we started to call many of the items currently put into the cages ‘species speciﬁc requirements’ (nesting material for mice and shelters for rats) as these are essential to meet the basic needs of the animal. We should then look to design an enrichment programme which adds to these. It was acknowledged that a new species arriving into a facility has much more thought and effort put into its housing and satisfying it’s basic needs than the majority of animals (mice, rats and Zebraﬁsh) already in the facility.All in all, we had a fabulous day and thanks must go to University of Glasgow for hosting and our sponsors:Agenda, Clinipath, DBM Scotland, Inotiv, IPS, LBS, MMM, Sychem and TecniplastReporter: Mark Campbell

This month, the EDI Group is revisiting its “Let’s Talk” article on another protected characteristic, NeurodiversityLet’s talk about … Neurodiversity in the workplace“You probably can’t tell by looking at me, but my brain works very differently to yours. If you were to meet me, you’d probably notice that I’m tall and I have blonde hair. You might notice that I don’t often make eye contact. But you won’t see that I’m also extremely sensitive to bright lights and loud noises. I am hopeless at reading body language and I miss conversational cues. I love coding and enjoy solving problems. I struggle with changing environments, having to hot desk has a huge impact on me. I am not a neurotypical person, I am what is known as ‘neurodivergent’”What is Neurodiversity?Neurodiversity refers to the different ways the brain can work and interpret information. It highlights that people naturally think about things differently. We have different interests and motivations, and are naturally better at some things and poorer at others.Most people are neurotypical, meaning that the brain functions and processes information in the way society expects.However, it is estimated that around 1 in 7 people (more than 15% of people in the UK) are neurodivergent, meaning that the brain functions, learns and processes information differently. Neurodivergence includes Attention Deﬁcit Disorders, Autism, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. These bring strengths as well as difﬁculties.What does Neurodiversity mean?When we describe people as ‘neurodivergent’, then, we are talking about people who in one or several respects have a thinking style at the edges of one or more of these continuums, with – in the words of autistic author, speaker and educator Nick Walker – “A brain that functions in ways that diverge signiﬁcantly from the dominant societal standards of “normal’. We need to understand that there is no standard brain.”Neurodiversity is, ultimately, a biological fact of the inﬁnite variety of human neurocognition. Now, the same term ‘neurodiversity’ is also being used to represent a fast-growing sub-category of organisational diversity and inclusion that seeks to embrace and maximise the talents of people who think differently. (CIPD 2018)Let’s talk about ... NeurodiversityMental Health Awarenesswww.iat.org.ukHow can we embrace Neurodiversity in the workplace?Neurodivergence is fairly common, so most workplaces are already neurodiverse. Yet, there is still a lack of understanding around most forms of neurodivergence, and misperceptions persist. It therefore makes sense for organisations to take steps that make their neurodivergent staff feel valued, part of the team and supported to contribute fully towards achieving the goals of the organisation.Creating a more inclusive workplace can:l highlight the employer’s commitment to diversity and inclusionl reduce the stigma around neurodivergencel make staff feel safe and empowered to disclose a neurodivergencel make it more likely that neurodivergent staff will be treated fairly by their managers and colleaguesl open the organisation up to a pool of talent that may otherwise have been overlookedl help retain skilled staff and reduce recruitment costs.Further Support and Training can be found at:l ADHD Foundation - Adults sectionl British Dyslexic Association - Employer sectionl Dyspraxia Foundation - Adults sectionl National Autistic Society - Support for employersl Tourettes Action - Employers sectionl NHS website and search for the speciﬁc form of neurodivergenceReferences:CIPD Guide Neurodiversity at work , Feb 2018https://www.gov.uk/government/news/neurodiversity-in-the-workplaceCIPD Neuroinclusion at workhttps://www.cipd.org/uk/knowledge/guides/neuroinclusion-work/Institute of Animal TechnologyCOUNCILEquality, Diversity and InclusionGroup

BulletinApril 2024 • 23 West of Scotland Branch Annual General Meeting (AGM) Friday 23rd February 2024 T his year, the West of Scotland Branch AGM was held at the University of Strathclyde and consisted of talks from researchers working at the University of Dundee and were hosted by our ﬁrst presenter Joanne Mains who has been working as a senior technician at Dundee within the Medical School Resources Unit (MSRU). Thank you to IPS and Agenda for being our sponsors for this event.Joanne Mains: Procedural Specialist, University of DundeePresentation: Reﬁnements of a Dual Catheter SurgeryJoanne’s research within the laboratory of Dr Li Kang is focussed on obesity and diabetes and discussed the reﬁnements implemented in their dual catheter surgery being used for the glucose clamp technique. This is a gold standard method for assessing β-cell function, with different clamp techniques depending on the experimental conditions required. Previously, homemade bevelled catheters were used for ease during surgery but had the potential to cause post-surgical complications. Joanne was sent to Vanderbilt University to learn about new reﬁnements which included pre-made sterile catheters with soft blunt ends, with one for the carotid arteries and jugular veins. These new catheters can reduce the risk of blood clots and strokes as well as a pre-made vascular access button with a felt base – the catheters themselves have small beads which help to judge the correct depth when catheterising. Additionally, a modiﬁed analgesic routine was used, which went from pre/post-operative subcutaneous injections of Rimadyl, to Rimadyl being given in water to improve animal recovery. Due to the movement of the animal during surgery (as the carotid artery and jugular vein are catheterised), full asepsis must be applied and Joanne explained their use of drapes and gowns, Opsite dressings and surgical gloves and of course a ‘dirty’ assistant to help with any non-sterile tasks that those performing surgery would avoid doing themselves. This is complex surgery and blood loss can be a concern. Joanne’s further studies will be starting soon and as part of these she will be learning how to use a cauteriser.

Bulletin24 • April 2024 Mattie Palowic: Principal Investigator, University of DundeePresentation: Reﬁ nements of Mouse Models of CryptosporidiumFollowing Joanne, we had Principal Investigator Dr Mattie Palowic who explained her laboratory’s work on studying Cryptosporidium and how her team have implemented each of the 3R’s into their mouse models. Cryptosporidium is a deadly diarrhoeal disease, it is the number two killer in developing countries, ahead of HIV, Malaria and TB. Cryptosporidium cannot be cultured in vitro, as current in vitro techniques cannot replicate the complex environment of the gut so animal models have to be used to culture these parasites. Mattie explained the two main models used for Cryptosporidiumand how her laboratory has reduced the number of animals used in her studies (as only 50% were getting infected with GFP-Crypto, which help visualise the location of the parasites in the gut). After plotting the parasite yield, the model has been reﬁ ned by culling the animals at the peak of their infection to maximise parasite collection and minimising the infection time in the acute models. They are currently working with a potential replacement by investigating organoid culture to replicate the intestines as much as possible.

BulletinApril 2024 • 25Yunkai Li: Postdoctoral Research Assistant, University of DundeePresentation: Investigating the effect of a novel δGABAA R enhancer on mouse behaviour and brain activityYunkai’s group presentation discussed the importance of the δGABAA receptor for maternal behaviour and its relationship to depressive behaviour, it has been linked in humans to post-natal depression. Mice with this receptor knockout showed a reduced pup survival rate compared to WT mice and reported data shows impaired forced-swim test and sucrose preference (tests for depression-like behaviours and anhedonia, respectively). The Positive Allosteric Modulator (PAM) known as DS-2 cannot cross the blood brain barrier, where Yunkai’s study is looking at another PAM referred to as “Drug X” and comparing it to the effects of GABAA agonist THIP; to determine whether “Drug X” exhibited antidepressant effects, the drug’s effects on brain activities and if it did it manage to cross the blood brain barrier and remain centrally active after administration. Both drugs produced behaviours lacking in balance and coordination while “Drug X” was shown to reduce locomotion in a dose-dependent manner compared to vehicle, whilst THIP produced a paradoxical response with an initial increase at 10mg/kg but producing a decrease at 30mg/kg. “Drug X” also promoted anti-anxiety effects during the elevated plus maze – used to test anxiety. The results, so far are promising for “Drug X” and Yunkai’s further studies will look at the effect of “Drug X” on emotional disorders by using an early-life adversity (ELA) model and using alternative methods for testing depression-like behaviours and anhedonia.Following the presentations there was a brief break before the AGM began with drinks and as part of Tech Month, there was a fun competition for who could make the best origami creation from the options of a dog, rabbit, or ﬁ sh – with congratulations to Nicola Munro (AKA Lee Wheeler) for getting best prize.

Thanks to everyone who has attended this evening, we have quite a good turn out this year.Unfortunately, we have had a quiet year with only the educational talks at the last AGM and one outing to Fair Play which was fun for those who attended. I am afraid this was totally my fault, as I have had quite a hectic year and have not had the time to organise much.

BulletinApril 2024 • 27 Just a quick note, when signing up for events or outings, can you please only sign yourself as it can get confusing and messy with numbers when trying to organise reservations.This year is going to be extremely busy for me as I have mentioned in my presentation, therefore I thought it is best for someone else to take over the mantle and I have decided to stand down as Secretary of the Branch to give someone who has more time and can be more committed to you by organising more activities outings and guest speakers.Chair’s reportThanks to all members who regularly turn up. 2023 was a quiet year but I am really happy to see the number of participants rising at each event and AGM so thanks to all of you for your participation.Just a note for future reference, that I need to address. At any future event or outing which requires full payment or a deposit in advance, each person wishing to attend will have to pay a deposit to secure their place. This is due to no shows with no prior warning, which has happened in the past. This is usually once a full un-refundable payment has already been given by either the Branch or the company who is sponsoring us. When this happens, it does not make the Branch look good and can actually hinder future sponsorship.Thanks, again to everyone who has attended and I hope to see you all at further gatherings and events.Treasurer’s reportThe books are with the auditors. The balance before refreshments for tonight was £904.29, £131.68 was spent on refreshments, gifts and eggs for this AGM leaving a balance of £772.61.Branch Liaison Committee (BLC)At Congress 2025, it will return to the branches to nominate charities and the ‘winning’ branch will organise and run the rafﬂe that year. Someone will need to check if a charity is happy to receive the rafﬂe proceeds prior to nomination and give a small explanation as to why that charity has been chosen. Push for technicians to come up with ideas on improvements they have made in work for the ‘What have you done to make a difference?’ group. Poster should be at Congress. This can include things such as changes in enrichment or sustainability.

Bulletin28 • April 2024 The IAT managers leaﬂet is in its ﬁnal stages and at the last BLC meeting the latest update was that the leaﬂet was at the printers and should hopefully be ready and available at Congress. There will not be a full Tech Month this year but branches are still encouraged to celebrate their technicians and Tech Month will fully return in 2025. Branches are encouraged to hold their own events, which can be online or face-to-face.Branch rules have been updated and approved by Council and should be available on the IAT website in due course. Branches are expected to report on two events throughout the year, which can be online or face-to-face. One must be educational and either event can be held with another branch. If branches fail to do so, it will affect the grant given the following year. Another update states a branch must send at least 1 rep to BLC meetings, as this can affect funding as well.Any roles changes at AGM (chair, secretary, treasurer, rep) inform IAT asap to update contact info.ELECTION OF OFFICERSPOSITION NAME Proposed SecondedCHAIRKally Booth CH JMSECRETARYNicola Munro KB TMTREASURERLinda Horan JM TMBRANCH REPsChristie Hancock/Tara Mclaughlin KB JMCOMMITTEELee Wheeler Voted on block proposed LH and seconded KBCOMMITTEELynsey MurrayCOMMITTEEJoanne MainsCOMMITTEEBarbara HughesCOMMITTEEAlexander Young

Bulletin30 • April 2024 Surrey, Hampshire and Sussex (SH&S) Branch Annual General Meeting (AGM) Report 7th February 2024 T he SH&S Branch AGM took place at Surrey Diagnostics premises near Guildford. The meeting started with a presentation by General Manager Owen Hazelby. Owen explained that the original company was set up in 1996 by Professor John Bleby, a veterinary surgeon and former ofﬁcer with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps (RAVC).Professor Bleby was Director of the MRC Laboratory Animals Centre (MRC LAC) at Carshalton. Under his leadership at the LAC, research and production activities prospered and the centre became an internationally recognised supplier of genetically and pathogenically standardised laboratory animals – most famously SPF cats, which Bleby himself developed. As a Vice President of the IAT and spokesman for the Research Defence Society (now Understanding Animal Research), Professor Bleby was a vocal supporter of the use of animals in medical research and he also campaigned to improve Animal Welfare in laboratories and on farms. Since it was established (at that time it only dealt with rodents), Surrey Diagnostics has expanded its activities into other species and disciplines. It is now an independent veterinary diagnostic laboratory offering personalised screening solutions and providing expert advice to clients across the UK and Europe. Owen detailed the company’s comprehensive array of services for scientiﬁc institutions and veterinary surgeries, encompassing serology, bacteriology, mycology, parasitology, molecular biology (PCR), environmental screening and allergen testing, across a diverse range of species. Surrey Diagnostics also provides environmental services to a broad spectrum of establishments including hospitals, schools and universities.He ﬁnished his presentation with an unusual test result, which was sperm in the anal canal of a group housed, male mouse!!
