BulletinJuly 2020• 5Dear ReadersTwo things to tell you, as we graduallycome out of hibernation. The first thing to say,we are now back in printed form, so I do hope youare now returning back to a more structured way ofworking and reading this in the tea room! The second thing, something you will have alreadynoticed – the July edition of the Bulletin is muchsmaller than usual. There are a couple of reasons forthis, obviously while we have been in lockdown, wehave not been attending any conferences, meetings, seminars orworkshops in person, these have all been postponed or pushed intovirtual meetings. Most of which have been done at very short notice – socurrently there is nothing much to report. Additionally, because of theunscheduled changes to our lives, the Bulletin has begun to get verybehind in our print schedule, which we now need to get back as wereturn to printed format. Our August edition will also be small – but Iguarantee our September edition will be back to normal!Back with this edition, we do have some articles of interest to you – let’sstart with MySociety – the IAT membership database. Read pages 8-11 foran explanation of how this works and how you can use it. This is ofinterest to us all, but especially so to those of us who are RAnTechs – wecan use the database to track and keep records of our CPD.Elsewhere, we have AS-ET news, which includes information on the essaycompetition – prize a trip to Congress 2021. See page 16 to see if you areeligible – even if you are not, please pass the information on to thosewho are.Make sure you take care and …Keep Reading!CarolePoverty IAT LAUNCHES EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY GenderRaceSexual OrientationDiscriminationAgeReligion or BeliefDisabilityEthnicityFairAnti-oppres sive practiceFairYout h WorkSexValuesEmpowermentLegislationDifferenc eSocietyEqualRightsStatusOpportunitiesClassBeliefsEducationNOBODY IS THE SAME BUT EVERYONE IS EQUALInstitute of Animal TechnologyAdvancing and promoting excellence in the care and welfare of animals in scienceEnsuring policies, procedures and processes don’t discriminateEducation - equal access to opportunitiesCreating an inclusive culture for allwww.iat.org.uk/equalityGROUPJul20:IATB NEW 10/7/20 10:01 Page 5January 2024• 5BulletinKeep Reading!Carole Happy New Year to everyone, I cannot believe another has passed by so quickly. Has everyone recovered from the Christmas and New Year festivities? At one point I felt like the image on the front cover –the difference being that unlike the seal, I was not alone in feeling the effect of the excess of the season and I am not an endangered species. On the other hand, the Hawaiian monk seal is the only seal species native to the state of Hawaii and is also endangered.I have recently been asked to comment on an idea to bring the Bulletin online and sending it as an electronic version directly to members email addresses. Of course, we can already see the Bulletin online, as well as having it as a printed version – but I wondered what the readership thought of this, as I have never investigated the idea of sending it directly to people before. Please let me know what you think – contact me at bulletineditor@iat.org.uk. I look forward to your thoughts.In the meantime, keep sending me all your Branch news, meeting write ups and other articles – as we all enjoy hearing about them. To illustrate, in this edition we have editorial on the Babraham Institute’s 2nd Animal Technician Conference (pages 17 – 21), a write up of a paintballing game from the Huntington, Norfolk and Suffolk Branch (page 23) and the minutes from the latest meeting of the Branch Liaison Committee (pages 9 -11).Interestingly in that meeting, the subject of low/poor attendance of AGMcame up, which is a subject I have also seen commented on in other previousBranch News. I think that we live in a changing world and perhaps we do not see these events as important to our lives anymore. This is a shame, especially I also know that some people  nd it very dif cult to speak about what they do for a living, not something that applies when speaking to colleagues. I would encourage everyone to get involved in Branch activities, otherwise without member participation the Branches close and those opportunities to speak very freely and exchange ideas become lost.

BulletinJanuary 2024 • 7219th Council Meeting of the Institute of Animal Technology Held as a hybrid (in person and via zoom) meeting on 6th December 2023 at 14.00 hoursOverseas Membership GroupsCouncil discussed a proposal to create an Overseas Membership Group (OMG) for technicians in South Africa. Representatives of Council had met with South African representatives to see if there is potential for creation of OMG. Council discussed the proposed rules for the group and a further meeting with the South African representatives would be arranged.Support for NACWOsAt the President’s Advisory meeting, held at the end of November, there had been discussion about how support could be given to NACWOs to carry out their roles. This issue was further discussed at the Council meeting and a sub-group has been set up, consisting of Vice Presidents and Council members, to take this issue forward. The group hope to meet with Will Reynolds, ASRU Head of Unit, to consider ways NACWOs can be supported.IAT Council electionsThe Honorary Secretary reported that whilst there had been new nominations to stand for election to Council, there had also been resignations from existing Council members. There will, therefore not be an election this year and the full complement of Council members will be confi rmed at the AGM in March.Animal Welfare and TechnologyThe Animal Welfare and Technology (ATW) Editor put out a plea for any material for publication. The Editorial Board are happy to help with preparing an article for publication if you are having diffi culties or are not sure where to start. There are also useful guidance notes available to help you write an article.The Editor also reported that a peer reviewer for ATW articles is stepping down from the role. If anyone would be interested in fi nding out more about this roleplease contact the ATW Editor (info@atwjournal.com)

Bulletin8 • January 2024 Communications GroupThe Communications group have organised three live webinars during 2023 and are planning on further webinars during 2024. The first webinar was delivered by Wendy Jarrett of UAR, on why openness in animal research is important and how UAR are supporting openness. John Merredith, also from UAR, delivered the second webinar on how technicians can talk to family and friends about the work they do. The Board of Educational Policy delivered the third webinar, with a focus on IAT Education.Future webinars will be advertised in the e-newsletter, Bulletin and on the IAT website. All webinars will be available on the Members’ Section of the IAT website after the initial showing.Tech MonthThe Communications group reported that Tech Month will now take place bi-annually. This is to avoid it becoming stale and repetitive. Tech month 2024 will still feature quizzes and ‘Animal in the House’ but Technician Bingo will not take place. Tech Month is an opportunity for establishments and branches to organise their own events to celebrate technicians.There will be a return of the Photo Competition in 2024. Entries will need to be submitted by mid-February and there will be two prizes – one for the home category and one for the work category. A shortlist will be decided by an online vote via the IAT website. The shortlisted photos will then be displayed at Congress, where delegates will vote for their favourites in each category.The Board of Educational PolicyThe Board of Educational Policy (BoEP) reported that the External Verifier for IAT Higher Education qualifications has stood down from the role. The Board expressed their thanks to Patrick Hayes for his long service in this role. The Board will now be looking to replace Patrick and will prepare further details of the role to be circulated.IAT membership renewals 2024The Administrator reported that membership renewals had been sent out and renewals were being made. Corporate membership renewal invoices have to be raised manually, so if any have been missed, please contact the Administrator (admin@iat.org.uk) who can raise an invoice accordingly.The next IAT Council meeting will be held in February 2024 and will be a hybrid meeting.

BulletinJanuary 2024 • 9 Minutes from the Branch Liaison Committee (BLC) meeting Held on Tuesday 5th December 2023 via ZoomNine representatives attended, seven from branches, two from IAT Items discussed:– Welcome and introductions for new attendees and ‘stand-ins’.– Apologies from several branches. Review of actions from previous meeting Hannah, following up a quiz/crossword for Bulletin.Potential speakers for eventsWith reference to potential available speakers for AGMs, etc, due to data protection, it was not appropriate to produce a list.Council suggested:– That Branches could contact suppliers (see Suppliers Register in Bulletin).– Their NVS.– The NC3Rs/RSPCA who are usually willing to give talks. New Actions/DiscussionEdinburgh Branch will be running the Congress Raffle this year – a message has gone out to Branch Secretaries requesting a donation to the raffle. As previously discussed, these should be up to a maximum of £50, ideally linked to the branch and due to travel arrangements should be small enough to travel (flights, etc) or be able to be shipped to the winner.

Bulletin10 • January 2024 In the future branches will revert to nominating a human/animal charity, with the proceeds of the raffle going to the winning nomination.Action: Branches/Reps to let Edinburgh Branch know of prizes.To attract interest to the IAT stand it was agreed that the BLC would run a competition to guess the number of ‘chocolate’ mice in a jar. Agreed that these should be mixed colours.Action: Lynda to purchase chocolate mice.IAT leaflet for managers – Pictures have been chosen. Awaiting sign off by Council. Action: Lynda to speak to Adrian for progress at Council Meeting. What have you done to make a difference – no update at this meeting.Tech Month – It was planned that there will not be a ’full-blown’ Tech Month in 2024. A question was raised that following REF (Research Excellence Framework) that there will be an increase in the ‘value’ of technical support for research and this may be a backwards step. If it is reduced in 2024 then recognition should be increased in 2025. Action: Lynda to raise with Council. 2024 AGMs – Most branches have dates set for 2024 AGMs, although most branches confirmed that they suffer from poor attendance, even with quizzes and pizza on offer, with one branch reporting difficulty after ‘losing’ a committee member. Discussions around generating interaction between branches, with a suggestion to run an online video game competition. Action: Discuss competition at branch AGMs.South African Branch – The possibility of a South African Branch is currently being discussed. This is with Council and a decision to pursue or not will be made next year.

BulletinJanuary 2024 • 11 Branch rules – The Branch rules have been reviewed to bring them up-to-date and to include the BLC. Changes include an extension to submitting AGM reports and branch liaison representative to be nominated at AGM.BLC Meeting Dates – dates for 2024 had been circulated – three zoom meetings and one face-to-face.Easter quiz/crossword – Lynda to contact Hannah. AOB There was a follow up to the question raised if it was possible to have a Branch LinkedIn page. Action: Lynda to raise at Council meeting. Discussion around personal email (especially those that use First.Surname@) being used in communication such as events/posters. The option for Branch secretary emails, for example cambridgebranch@iat.org.uk could be used when emails will be sent to Branch Secretary, although it was agreed that could involve extra work for Branch Secretary and a slowing of replies/communication as emails are forwarded. Further discussion on checking for attendees that are not using a work email. Agreed that Nikki can be contacted if unsure of person’s membership. Meeting ended with Lynda thanking all Branch Representatives for their hard work this year and wishing them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Reporter: Tony Davidge

Bulletin14 • January 2024 Dispatches...Tech Month 2024This year we will be making a change to the usual Tech Month. We will still have the weekly quiz and puzzles to complete and we will also be running ‘Animal in the House’. The biggest change will be that we are going to run the Photo Competition instead of Technician Bingo.We will be asking for animal related pictures either from home or from work. There will be prizes for the fi rst and second place pictures from both categories. This can be a picture of your pet, or an animal you come across when you are out and about or a laboratory animal from your place of work. If you are taking pictures at work, please ensure you have permission to send them in to us.Registered Animal Technologists (RAnTech)Are you thinking of applying to become a Registered Animal Technologist? Are you attending Congress 2024? Then you could have your interview whilst at Congress. We will have time slots available for interviews during Congress, so why not apply now?The Register of Animal Technologists was established in 1985 to promote professionalism in laboratory animal care and enhance standards of animal welfare. The Register demonstrates to the public, employers and the regulatory authorities the high ethical standards and qualifi cation of career Animal Technologists.

We are all guilty as technicians of saying:‘Oh I just know they (insert the species) use that item, so they must enjoy it’ and this may well be the case but you need science evidence to validate your hypothesis, which can persuade others that it is worth investing in the enrichment item/s.There is a really helpful resource you can use, which was compiled by the IAT, NC3Rs and the RSPCA. It aims to empower Animal Technicians to undertake robust evaluations of environmental enrichment items and assess their impact on Animal Welfare – https://nc3rs.org.uk/3rs-resources/evaluating-environmental-enrichmentIf you do this, then you also have material for a poster or presentation to get you to Congress or to produce an article for ATW, representing a win for you and for your animals.
