Your pieces are so eye opening. Is there a person or dept I can start peppering with letters to let them know that what they are doing is not going unnoticed? I have been doing a lot more snail mail writing to convey my anger and dismay. I do emailing too. As an old lady with bad arthritis that’s often all I can manage. Or if you have any other suggestions, I’m open.
Thank you, Bananies, for your kind words and for your dedication to making your voice heard, even when it’s not easy. If you’d like to reach out directly, you can contact Harvard’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) at iacuc@fas.harvard.edu or the Office for Academic and Research Integrity at ARI@hms.harvard.edu. Letters and emails to these offices can help ensure your concerns are registered.
You might also consider connecting with national advocacy groups like the National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) or the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, who can amplify your voice and offer additional ways to get involved.
Thank you again for your commitment—every letter truly does make a difference!
Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts, Evelien! My intention was to highlight the challenges and responsibilities facing major institutions in times of political and technological change—not to single out any one group or motivation. I agree that independent organizations must be proactive and prepared, especially as new tools like AI reshape the landscape. Your perspective adds an important dimension to the conversation, and I appreciate your engagement!
It's challenging, and blaming doesn't help, but it's's time to reorganise and make an action plan. This is an international problem, I've seen the signs in Europe .......
Primate testing needs to end. All animal testing does in the wake of new technologies. Hard to fathom in 2025 we are keeping primates in cages in labs. Great article!

Thank you for you analyse, and your right....
We all have been warned about the abuse of AI, logarithms and models, as Trump and "Project 2025" are doing now.
Specially the Independent organisations, should have been prepared.......

What has Harvard done for the average, or any citizen in America. NAME ONE FUCKING THING.
