On April 12th, URAFPA hosted in the experimental platform in aquaculture a pratical work lesson from the Lorraine Unveristy Orion "Osez la recherche" device. This facility allows volunteer students from bachelor 2 to master 2 level to discover research careers and associated skills. Nine Life Sciences bachelor students could thus increase awareness of rights and duties regarding the use of animals in research, and deliberate on the setting up of a behavioural test on zebrafish.
