Abstract:
Remembrance activities can support the Culture of Care (CoC) in Laboratory Animal Science (LAS) not only by promoting a culture of respect, gratitude and thankfulness for animal life but also by helping the emotional processing and healing of lab animal researchers and animal facility staff. Even though remembrance activities are practiced in many parts of the world, we did not come across any reported cases in Sri Lanka before 2022. Therefore, here, we report on the various remembrance activities and practices observed within our local scientific community.
