Meet the winner of Animal Free Research UK’s Early Career Scientist Award, Sophie O’Kane, and explore the transformative power of personal experiences and human relationships in driving change. Sophie shares her journey of transitioning from defending animal research to becoming an advocate for animal-free alternatives. This transformation was sparked by a conversation with her Aunt, who challenged her perspective and encouraged her to investigate the evidence.

Listen in to a frank and honest conversation that brings different perspectives together. Sophie's journey serves as an inspiring example of how we can challenge established paradigms and light the fire for change whilst working towards more ethical and effective research methods.
