Dinosaurs were the dominant land animals for 160 million years, making them one of the most successful groups of animals ever. They first…

This…

An easy solution to animal testing are the numerous alternatives that are already available: • Organs on a chip: This was created by Harvard’s Wyss Institute.

The chips can be used to replace animal testing in areas of disease research and drug testing, it has also been shown to duplicate human anatomy, infections,…
