savescienceoregon.orgOregon Voices for Biomedical ResearchNew polling shows what Americans really think about biomedical research with animals. Explore the results.

15 July

The conversation around biomedical research is often louder than the data. Most Americans support responsible, regulated biomedical research with animals. Explore the full results and methodology, then use your voice to support the future of life-saving science at ONPRC. savescienceoregon.org/poll

Despite the attention given to activist campaigns, a recent survey of more than 2,000 U.S. adults found that 62% support biomedical animal research when veterinarians oversee animal welfare. These facts deserve a place in the conversation about ONPRC's future. savescienceoregon.org/poll

Anti-science politicians and activists are spreading misinformation about science in Oregon. These misinformation campaigns have put the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC) at risk of closure. We’re asking you to use your voice. savescienceoregon.org/butter #standupforscience

“A sanctuary is not a strategy. It is a capitulation to fear and the political pressure that ignores scientific reality” Well said @vincentcostaphd.bsky.social

NIH and some outside interest groups are trying to force the closing of the Oregon National Primate Research Center, and it looks like they might win. This would be a huge blow for translational research. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
