Speaking of Research wants to send speakers to your school, university or society to speak and debate.

Tom Holder, founder of SR, has extensive experience in debating the animal research issue, having travelled around both the US and UK to debate against individuals including Alistair Currie (UK campaigns coordinator for PETA), Michelle Thew (Chief Executive of British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection) and Kathy Archibald (Director of Europeans for Medical Progress).

During his time in the US, he has spoken extensively to a wide range of audiences from scientists and researchers, to veterinarians and animal care staff, to students, school children and members of the public. He is willing to talk about animal research, his experiences of the rise and fall of the animal rights movement in the UK, the rise of animal rights extremism in the US, and the importance of students and scientists speaking up on the issue.

Speaking of Research have a number of other scientists and other speakers within the committee who are willing to speak at events. Committee members such as Dario Ringach, David Jentsch and Allyson Bennett have all spoken extensively across the US and beyond on issues of animal research and animal rights extremism.

Furthermore, we are in contact with a network of other groups and individuals who may be able to speak in your region.
