Screenshot from linked webpage. The text reads: "Replacement checklist. How do researchers know they’ve fully explored all opportunities to replace animals in their work? How do reviewers of grant applications or animal licences know what to look for to be sure that all possibilities to avoid animal use have been taken up? What questions should they ask?"
