Area of Science:

Science communication
Animal research ethics
Public engagement

Background:

Existing public engagement with animal research often relies on self-selected participants and focuses on defending principles.
Current approaches may overlook the diverse practices within the animal research industry.
A didactic communication style can create a hierarchy between experts and the public.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore how curiosity and creativity can engage diverse publics with complex issues in animal research.
To conceptualize and illustrate embodied creative methods for co-creating knowledge about animal research.
To challenge traditional knowledge acquisition models in public engagement.

Main Methods:

Conceptualization and illustration of embodied creative methods.
Presentation of three case studies: artwork creation, 'The Mouse Exchange' workshop, and 'Care-full stories' workshop.
Analysis of contemporary engagement efforts in animal research.

Main Results:

Embodied creative methods foster curiosity and help overcome anxieties, enabling deeper engagement with animal research.
These methods allow for the exploration of experiences and knowledge-making in novel ways.
Initiatives sensitively surface the complexities of human-animal relationships in research.

Conclusions:

Embodied creative methods offer a valuable alternative to traditional, didactic approaches in animal research engagement.
Such creative engagements may require updated recognition within frameworks like the Concordat on Openness in Animal Research.
An evolved vision of openness in animal research is needed, embracing creative and embodied engagement.
