The European Association recently hosted a webinar on the role of the veterinarian in Animal Research. This webinar brought together veterinarians from Europe and North America to explore the central role veterinarians play in animal welfare, scientific quality and public trust and was watched by almost 800 live participants. Across presentations and discussions, speakers highlighted that veterinarians operate at the intersection of ethics, care, regulation and research — a position that is essential yet often invisible to the public. More information on the webinar and links to the edited recording can be found here:  https://www.eara.eu/post/veterinarians-at-the-core-of-animal-research-reflections-from-eara-webinar
