August 17, 2012 Dear Dr. Geschwind, Dr. Lloyd, and Members of The August 17, 2012 Dear Dr. Geschwind, Dr. Lloyd, and Members of the Working Group, In advance of the Working Group on the Use of Chimpanzees in NIH Supported Research’s September 5th meeting, NEAVS would like to take this opportunity to provide you with a list of over 835 members of the scientific, academic and health professional communities who support ending the use of chimpanzees in biomedical research and testing, and retiring the chimpanzees. This petition, combined with evidence published in peer-reviewed journals, demonstrates that the use of chimpanzees in research is not widely accepted in the scientific community, and chimpanzee research is unnecessary for human scientific and medical progress. There are compelling reasons to immediately retire chimpanzees being held for biomedical research and testing. Of the approximate 937 chimpanzees in U.S. labs, only about 10-20% are in active research protocols. Their use has decreased dramatically and is at an historic low. A citation analysis found that greater than 85% of chimpanzee studies are not cited or not cited with any relevance to human medicine. The remaining 15% had contributed little, if anything, to the outcome of studies reporting an advance in human clinical practice. The contributors to those studies’ findings were a wide array of in vitro research methods, human clinical and epidemiological investigations, molecular assays and methods, genomic studies, etc. These alternatives and others confirm research involving chimpanzees does not meet the IOM guiding principle that it be necessary to advance the public’s health. There are extensive and fundamental genetic reasons why chimpanzees, however closely related, are not and can never be good models for human research. Specific examples include: HIV: AIDS does not progress from HIV in chimpanzees due to their differing genetics. AIDS- related chimpanzee studies fell by nearly 90% from 1998 to 2005. Hepatitis C: Chimpanzee use in hepatitis C research has declined 50-60% over the past 30 years, while non-animal hepatitis C research has increased 80-fold. It is widely acknowledged, even among chimpanzee-use advocates, that there is no need for chimpanzees in the future development of HCV antivirals. Cancer: Chimpanzees have been scarcely used in cancer research, as their tumors are biologically different from human cancers in their causes and in apoptosis and metastasis. mAbs: Dr. Theresa Reynolds, Director of Safety Assessment at Genentech, asserted in her IOM testimony that she and mAb developers agree there is no need for the use of chimpanzees for mAb development due to “advances in scientific engineering.” Even if chimpanzees were needed for biomedical research, the severe stress that laboratory life and use impose on chimpanzees and the physiological responses to such physical, psychological, cognitive, and social stress would make them ineligible for future research. The effects of laboratory life for a chimpanzee are known to impact gene function and expression, and have particular consequences for immune system function, crucial to infectious disease research. Some of these confounders are outlined below: History of use in multiple research protocols: Many chimpanzees have been infected with multiple viruses and used in various areas of disease research, sometimes in multiple laboratories, confounding any research data and casting further doubt on the scientific validity of the research in which they are used. Further, it is well known that their medical records are often neither complete nor accurate. New England Anti‐Vivisection Society 333 Washington St, STE 850 Boston, MA 02108 p: 617.523.6020 f: 617.523.7925 neavs.org Age: Over one-third of chimpanzees held in U.S. laboratories are elderly and have spent all of their lives as research subjects exposed to many different biomedical protocols and pathogens. Cellular insults caused by stress, illness, and exposure to certain chemicals adversely affect the aging process. Therefore, it is likely that any results gained from chimpanzee aging studies would be both difficult to interpret and impossible to extrapolate to the average human being. Physiological diseases: A recent review of autopsies performed on chimpanzees who died in laboratories, or after transfer from laboratory to sanctuary, revealed that the majority had been suffering from significant chronic or incurable illnesses and often multi-system diseases that should have made them ineligible for future research on scientific, as well as ethical, grounds. Psychological Stress: The physical manifestations of the extreme psychological stress chimpanzees suffer in laboratories adversely affect their suitability as subjects and research results. The effects of stress include cardiovascular diseases, attenuated immune function and autoimmune disorders, premature aging and mortality, developmental abnormalities, elevated tumor initiation and progression, musculoskeletal atrophy, and more. In order to implement the IOM guiding principles, it is critical to consider the above concerns. Not only have researchers chosen alternatives to chimpanzee research based on effectiveness, but the compounded effects of life in a laboratory on the results of scientific studies would make future use of chimpanzees in research irresponsible. In addition, retiring chimpanzees to sanctuary would be economically beneficial to the American public – in tax dollar savings and reallocation of remaining federal funds to more promising areas of biomedical research; and retirement to sanctuary would be beneficial for the chimpanzees’ psychological and physical well-being. On the basis of the IOM’s study and recommendations, and on our review of the scientific investigations and published literature on chimpanzee research, we respectfully hope that the Working Group recognizes serious reservations about the accuracy of claims regarding the necessity, relevance, and efficacy of chimpanzee research, and we urge the Working Group to recommend retiring the chimpanzees. Respectfully submitted, Theodora Capaldo, Ed.D.

His intellectual incisiveness, warmth and breadth of knowledge guided and inspired a great many scientists throughout their careers. Robert was born in Norwich in 1923, the youngest of four children: John and Isobel were born before WWI, and Wendy and Robert afterwards. His father Ernest was a G.P. who served in the Royal Army Medical Corps during WWI while his mother Isabella, a trained nurse, looked after the Norwich practice. From primary schools in Norwich, Robert went to Oundle School in 1935. As soon as he turned seventeen, Robert volunteered for the RAF. After a frustratingly long period of training he was assigned to Coastal Command, where he became a pilot flying Catalina and then Sunderland flying boats. Following his release in January 1946, Robert came up to St. John’s to read Natural Sciences (Zoology) graduating with First Class honours whilst simultaneously being awarded a BSc at the University of London. He spent many hours bird watching on the Cambridge Sewage Farm, where he identified a breeding pair of Moustached Warblers, not seen in the UK before or since.

POVAR, CONSULTING EDITOR ELVA MATHIESEN, ASSISTANT EDITOR ALLAN M. SCHRIER, FOUNDING EDITOR, 1962-1987 Published Quarterly by the Schrier Research Laboratory Psychology Department, Brown University Providence, Rhode Island ISSN 0023-6861 POLICY STATEMENT The Laboratory Primate Newsletter provides a central source of information about nonhuman primates and re- lated matters to scientists who use these animals in their research and those whose work supports such research. The Newsletter (1) provides information on care and breeding of nonhuman primates for laboratory research, (2) dis- seminates general information and news about the world of primate research (such as announcements of meetings, research projects, sources of information, nomenclature changes), (3) helps meet the special research needs of indi- vidual investigators by publishing requests for research material or for information related to specific research prob- lems, and (4) serves the cause of conservation of nonhuman primates by publishing information on that topic. As a rule, research articles or summaries accepted for the Newsletter have some practical implications or provide general information likely to be of interest to investigators in a variety of areas of primate research. However, special consid- eration will be given to articles containing data on primates not conveniently publishable elsewhere. General descrip- tions of current research projects on primates will also be welcome. The Newsletter appears quarterly and is intended primarily for persons doing research with nonhuman primates. Back issues may be purchased for $5.00 each.

  • The 67Th OSU International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy on Behalf of the Executive Committee, Frank Delucia, Anne B
    Welcome to the 67th OSU International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy On behalf of the Executive Committee, Frank DeLucia, Anne B. McCoy, and myself, I extend a heartfelt welcome to all the attendees to the 67th Symposium and welcome you to The Ohio State University and Columbus. The Symposium presents research in fundamental molecular spectroscopy and a wide variety of related fields and applications. The continued vitality and significance of spectroscopy is annually re-affirmed by the number of talks, their variety, and the fact that many are given by students. These presentations are the heart of the meeting and are documented by this Abstract Book. Equally important is the information flowing from informal exchanges and discussions. As organizers, we strive to provide an environment that facilitates both kinds of interactions. The essence of the meeting lies in the scientific discussions and your personal experi- ences this week independent of the number of times that you have attended this meeting. It is our sincere hope that you will find this meeting informative and enjoyable both scientifically and personally, whether it is your first or 50th meeting. If we can help to enhance your experience, please do not hesitate to ask the Symposium staff or the Executive Committee. Terry A.

    The Legends of Fauna | Vol. 2 Winter 2014 Old Friendships New Friendships Photo © NJ Wight Chance Photo © NJ Wight o many of our friends and supporters were delighted to get news about Sue Ellen in our Legends of Fauna series this past summer that SI wanted to make sure you knew how our Matriarch was doing and to continue from where we left off. We have had a busy few months indeed. When I last wrote, Sue Ellen and Chance were working things out. Chance had come such a long way in the few months she spent on her own with Sue Ellen. Like most relationships in life, time apart is welcomed and appreciated. Chance was missing some of her friends, wanting to go back and visit with Toby and Rachel. She did go back and seemed really content to be with the group again Photo © NJ Wight Toby and Sue Ellen welcomed her time alone. All seemed calm in the chimphouse…that is until we noticed just next door that Spock was becoming more and more annoyed with some of Binky’s antics. Binky, as you all know, is full of life and full of beans. The full of life we can all appreciate, but when he is full of beans, he is quite a handful for anyone. Spock needed a break. Binky craves attention and when he isn’t getting all of the love he needs from everyone, he tends to cause a ruckus. He then gets attention, however it’s generally not the kind he intended.
