From Dr. Charu Chandrasekera, Canadian researcher and renowned expert on Non-Animal Methods:

hashtag is a Sanskrit word that carries millennia of reverence within it.
It is the descent of the sacred into the ordinary.

A force that arrives at the precise moment it is neededโ€”a purposeful presenceโ€”to protect the good and restore order.
It is the moment when something vastโ€”wisdom, compassion, justice, truth โ€” steps down from the unseen and takes form in the world of dust and breath.

A definition that lands almost uncannily close to its Sanskrit origin: a descent of the sacred into form.
Except here, the descent is scientific.
Human biology itself becoming the messenger.

For generations, human biology was carried on the backs of innocent animals who had no voice in the matter.

Today, science begins to listen to the body it seeks to understand.
Not dogs, monkeys, and chimpanzees standing in for astronauts.

Science, at last, in alignment with reality.

This week, our bus shelter ad kicked off in Canada's capital city! At the intersection of Sparks and Bank Street, a busy pedestrian area, the message of human-relevant science is sounding loud and clear... just one block from Parliament Hill! 2 more billboards will be going up in the city during the month of April. With much gratitude to our kind donors who are making this campaign possible. In support of the work of Dr. Charu Chandrasekera and her tireless dedication to making animal-free science the gold standard in Canada

Our billboards are up! in Ottawa, and in Victoria BC... Their theme is to encourage policy makers to reallocate funding toward New-Approach Methods, putting an end to the long, dark ages of animal experimentation. Learn about the exciting and sophisticated alternatives at our website https://progressiveresearchsociety.com/

We are proud to announce that Dowlette-Mary Alam El Din, a graduate fellow from our sister organization, International Foundation for Ethical Research (IFER), has been shortlisted for the 2026 LUSH Prize in the Young Researcher category for her groundbreaking work in developing human-relevant, animal-free approaches to developmental neurotoxicity testing. This recognition highlights her exceptional dedication to advancing humane and scientifically robust alternatives to animal testing. Congratulations, Dowlette!
