Scientists, Science Communicators, PUS specialists, and PR professionals might consider the idea of building bridges, not only between the public and science but between scientists themselves. We look forward to the day when the science of 'Animal Experimentation' (AE) is one such subject where both the proponents and opponents are allowed a hearing. But before that day bridges have to be built even between the scientists . Obstacles such as government secrecy prevents freedom of speech for the proponents of AE who would otherwise be allowed to offer some validation of the industry. In turn this prevents other scientists who oppose AE any inclusion in a debate because there is none. If scientists themselves are not allowed freedom of debate and exchange of knowledge in such an important and controversial area then how will the science in medical research be communicated, how will it advance and how will the public ever be allowed to reach a genuinely informed opinion of the subject.
