This is the last week that the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing can accept nominations for two awards honoring individuals and organizations for significant contributions to the field of alternatives. Both awards will be presented at the 6th World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in the Life Sciences in August in Tokyo.
