In this month's 3-minute 3R's, we're talking temperature, environmental enrichment to improve stress responses in zebrafish, and better ways to handle mice. The papers behind the pod: Mice Housed at Elevated Vivarium Temperatures Display Enhanced T-cell Response and Survival to Francisella tularensis: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/aalas/cm/2017/00000067/00000006/art00004 Heat or Insulation: Behavioral Titration of Mouse Preference for Warmth or Access to a Nest: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0032799 International survey on the use and welfare of zebrafish Danio rerio in research: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jfb.13278/abstract Environmental enrichment modulates the response to chronic stress in zebrafish: http://jeb.biologists.org/content/early/2018/01/09/jeb.176735 Handling method alters the hedonic value of reward in laboratory mice: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-20716-3 The pod was produced this month with contributions from Lab A
