Best regards, Sakari Sakari Laaksonen Designated veterinarian Oulu Laboratory Animal Centre (OULAC) University of Oulu, Finland Postal address: PO Box 5000, 90014 University of Oulu, Finland Tel: +358 294 48 5097 Aihe: LAS CPD webinar | “Reduction by Design: Three Statistical Principles for Minimising Animal Use” | Friday, 1 December 2023, 2 PM CET Dear colleague, Registration is open for the free webinar “Reduction by Design: Three Statistical Principles for Minimising Animal Use” which will be presented by Penny S. Reynolds, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, College of Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA. Date: Friday, 1 December 2023, Stockholm 2 PM CET<https://time.is/CET> ABSTRACT Reduction of animal numbers is one of the three pillars of the 3Rs, but – paradoxically - is often perceived as conflicting with the goal of maximizing statistical power. However, a large sample size does not guarantee adequate power, and high power does not ensure that results are informative. Based on Ronald Fisher’s concept of statistical information, I outline three statistically-based but non-technical strategies for maximizing experimental signal and reducing noise. These include a clear statement of the research question, statistically-structured study design, and variance minimisation. These statistical process basics were developed almost a century ago, and were clearly described by Russell and Burch in 1959. However, most researchers seem to be completely unaware of their existence, and research quality is still poor. Too-small, noisy, and biased studies are uninformative and waste animals. It is our shared responsibility to promote well-established best practice standards, and emphasise appropriate design of experiments over statistical significance. SPEAKER Penny S. Reynolds<https://anest.ufl.edu/profile/reynolds-penelope/> is an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, a wildlife biologist, a statistics expert, a 3Rs advocate, and an author. She has received the UK LASA-Animals in Science Education Trust 3Rs Prize, and the AAALAC Global 3Rs Award. She was one of the co-authors of the ARRIVE 2.0 Reporting Guidelines and Explanation and Elaboration document. Her book “A Guide to Sample Size for Animal-based Studies” is scheduled for release in November 2023.

Soluviljelijät/Cell culture meeting Fri 15.12.
by Reetta Hinttala 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

[Festive scene with hot chocolate, maple cookie and Christmas decorations]Hei, [Heart with solid fill]tässä yhteenveto perjantain kokouksesta. English summary of the cell culture meeting below. Kiitos kuluneesta vuodesta ja mukavasta yhteistyöstä. Tunnelmallista joulun aikaa ja menestystä uuteen vuoteen Thank you for the past year and the nice cooperation. Merry Christmas and a successful New Year to everyone Reetta Soluviljelijöiden kokous pe 15.12.2023 Yhteenveto 1. Edelleen hiilidioksidipullot 341B ja 342B soluviljelyjen yhteydessä tyhjenevät aiempaa nopeammin ja mahdollista kaasuvuotoa selvitetään. Kaasupullot käydään vaihtamassa ennen joulutaukoa viikolla 51 jotta vältytään hälytykseltä joululoman aikaan. Vuoden vaihteen jälkeen ti 2.1. tekniset palvelut aloittavat 342B laboratorion inkubaattoreiden toiminnan testauksella. Kaapit testataan samanaikaisesti jolloin molemmat tulee olla tyhjillään soluista. Viljelyssä olevat solut siirretään siksi aikaa 342B laboratorion inkubaattoriin. Tavoitteena on saada myös 341B:n kaapit tarkistettua yksi kerrallaan ensimmäisen viikon aikana, ennen kuin soluviljelytoiminta aktivoituu taas vuoden vaihteen jälkeen. Kaappien steriloinnit tehdään tarkistusten jälkeen, hyllyjä voi laittaa pesuun jo etukäteen jos kaappi on suljettu jouluksi. Huoneilman hiilidioksidipitoisuuden mittaukset aloitettiin 357B tilasta. Tuloksena huomattiin, että hiilidioksipitoisuus saattaa nousta yli raja-arvon viikonloppuna jolloin ilmanvaihto koko rakennuksessa on pienemmällä. Kannattaa siis huolehtia riittävästä ilmanvaihdosta avaamalla eteistilan ovi, jos työskentelee viikonloppuna 357B tilassa. 341B ja 342B tilojen hiilidioksidipitoisuudet mitataan vuodenvaihteen jälkeen. Kannattaa kiinnittää erityistä huomiota taukoihin sekä olotilan muutoksiin, jos työskentelee viikonloppuisin näissä tiloissa. Teknisiä palveluita sekä laboratoriopäällikköä on tiedotettu asiasta, tieto viedään myös työsuojeluvaltuutetulle. 2. Nestetyppitankkien täytöstä ja nestetypen tarpeesta joululoman aikaan keskusteltiin. Sovittiin, että Maarit peruu täytön välipäiviltä, mutta ensimmäisellä viikolla tankkien täyttö on taas tarpeen. Gynen Riikka ja Ulla huolehtivat nestetyppitankkien täytöstä ensimmäisellä viikolla. Sen jälkeen nestetyppivuorossa on Neuro. 3. Labratakit viedään pesuun maanantaina 18.12. iltapäivällä. Tyhjentäkää takkienne taskut, takit laitetaan 341/342B eteistilassa olevaan säkkiin. Tarkistakaa samalla soluviljelyssä käytössä olevat kengät. Jätetään eteistilaan ainoastaan aktiivisessa käytössä olevat ja käyttämättömät tai harvoin tarvittavat viedään jätehuoneessa olevaan laatikkoon josta ne voi hakea käyttöön jos/kun tarpeen. 4. Mykoplasmanäytteet ehtii vielä toimittaa Anjalle, jos on nopea! Anja ottaa testiin mukaan viimeistään ma 18.12. klo 9 mennessä toimitetut näytteet. 5. Hankinnoista keskusteltiin. Pipetti tms. roskien keräämiseen laminaareissa tilataan kertakäyttöpussit ja niille telineet. Selvitellään myös mikroskoopin hintaa jossa parempi kuvantamismahdollisuus, tosin rahoitusta hankintaan ei tällä hetkellä ole. 6. Yleiset ohjeet, vastuuhenkilöt ja yhteyshenkilöt päivitettiin. Tallennan ohjeet tämän viikon aikana kansioon: S:\KLIIN\CRC\Soluviljely Cell culture\Instructions . Päivittäkää ohjeet myös printattuna kansioihin jotka löytyvät kolmesta soluviljelylabrasta ja muistakaa ohjeistaa uusia työntekijöitä tutustumaan niin ennen soluviljelyn aloittamista. 7. Seuraava kokous to 22.2.24 klo 13 CRC:n kahvihuoneessa. Cell culture meeting Fri 15.12.2023 Summary 1. Carbon dioxide bottles connected to incubators in 341B and 342B continue emptying faster than before and a possible gas leak is investigated. The gas bottles are changed before the Christmas break in week 51 to avoid an alarm during the Christmas holidays. After the new year, Tue 2.1. technical services start testing the operation of incubators in the 342B laboratory. Both incubators are tested at the same time, so both of them must be empty of cells. The cells in culture are therefore transferred to the 342B laboratory incubator. The goal is to also have the incubators of 341B checked one at a time during the first week, before cell cultures are activated again. Incubators are sterilized after the thorough check, shelves can be washed in advance if the incubators are closed for Christmas. The measurements of the carbon dioxide in the room air were started in room 357B. As a result, it was noticed that the level of carbon dioxide may rise just above the limit value during the weekend, when the ventilation in the entire building is lower. It is therefore worth taking care of sufficient ventilation by opening the entrance door if you work in room 357B on the weekend. The carbon dioxide levels in the room air in premises 341B and 342B are measured after the new year. You should pay special attention to breaks and general condition if you work on weekends in these spaces. Technical services and the laboratory manager have been informed about the matter, the information will also be taken to the occupational health and safety representative. 2. The filling of liquid nitrogen tanks and the need for liquid nitrogen during Christmas time were discussed. It was agreed that Maarit will cancel filling in week 52, but in the first week of 2024 it will be necessary to fill the tanks again. Gyne's Riikka and Ulla take care of filling the liquid nitrogen tanks in the first week. After that, it's Neuro on the liquid nitrogen shift. 3. Lab coats will be taken for washing on Monday 18.12. afternoon. Empty the pockets of your coat and put them in the sack in the entrance room of 341/342B. At the same time, check the shoes used in cell culture. Only those that are in active use are left in the rack, and those that are not used or rarely needed are taken to the box in the waste room from where they can be picked up when/if needed. 4. There is still time to deliver samples for mycoplasma test to Anja, if you hurry! Anja accepts samples until 9 am today (Monday 18th December). 5. Equipment investment needs were discussed. Disposable bags and racks are ordered for collecting pipettes, etc. garbage in laminars. We are also investigating the price of a microscope with better imaging capabilities, although there is currently no funding for the purchase. 6. General instructions, responsible persons and contact persons were updated. The instructions can be found in electronic form from the folder later this week: S:\KLIIN\CRC\Soluviljely Cell culture\Instructions. Please also update the printed instructions to the folders that can be found in the three cell culture labs and remember to instruct new employees to familiarize themselves with it before starting cell culture. 7. The next meeting is on Thursday 22 February 2024 at 1 pm in the CRC coffee room.

The Foundation hereby announces a new application period for grants running from 1 to 31 January 2024. Grants will be awarded for the following purposes: 1. scientific research, primarily research towards a doctoral thesis; 2. travel grants for participation in a scientific congress (poster or oral presentation required); 3. project grants for more long-term postgraduate studies at a foreign centre specialising in research into movement disorders. This year the foundation has a special grant to be applied. The special grant is a maximum of 50,000 euros and is awarded for three years, with the latter two years being an option. Option years are decided based on research reporting, in which case the criteria are the quality and outcomes of the research. As a rule, grants are awarded as tax-exempt working grants for recipients to cover a leave of absence from their other employment. Each grant recipient is required to report on the use of the grant to the Foundation within 3 months of the end of the grant period or the trip taken. The application is completely electronic and is done by filling out the application form on the foundation's website. The application form will be opened on January 1, 2024 at the latest at 9 a.m. and will be closed on January 31, 2024 at 11 p.m. The foundation does not receive paper applications by mail except in exceptional cases. An electronic application requires a digital signature, in which case the applicants must confirm their identities either with online banking codes or MobileID's.
