Packs of biological models trump cards ready to be posted, alongside envelopes and NC3Rs stickers.
Excited to send biological models trump cards from the NC3Rs office for the first time! 🎉
Created by @comeflywithjo.bsky.social via our public engagement awards, the game sparks discussion on choosing research models and replacing animal use.
📦 Get your free pack: nc3rs.org.uk/3rs-resource...
Thanks to @comeflywithjo.bsky.social for sending us two packs of these cards for use in our public engagement activities!
They look great - and we're looking forward to using them with school children to help unpack why and how we use different model systems here @cruk-mi.bsky.social
Thanks Andreas!

Top Trumps - but make it science 🤓 I had the most fun designing these, and I've written about how you could use it in your outreach programme!
I'm keen to spread the word to any educators/academics who might be interested - please share 🤗 @nc3rs.bsky.social

A cardboard box containing stacks of Trump Cards in boxes with a cartoon design consisting of two flies playing cards and the words "Biological Research Trump Cards" in a funky font.
One of my favourite moments of 2024 was getting a delivery of 100 packs of Biological Research Trump Cards. I designed them myself and printed them with funds from @nc3rs.bsky.social ... please get in touch if you are interested in using some for your outreach/ PPIE activities 😀
