Educating Open Minds WABR was founded a decade ago to educate the public on the value of biomedical research for the health of both humans and animals. The past ten years have been a magnificent implementation of that goal.
Biomedical research is a commitment to life.
Much remains to be done. This was the advice that Caitlin Nelson, WABR essay contest winner, passed on in June during our Student Awards Ceremony. WABR is ready to continue to reach the open minds of students as we develop new and varied instructional materials on the value of animal models in biomedical research. We closed the 1998-1999 year with a series of successes. WABR contributed to the first Biotechnology Industry Organization Conference Teacher Program, which was a resounding success.
