Dutch Railways (NS) employees may have come into contact with chromium-6 between 1970 and 2020. It is not known exactly how often or how much this happened.

The Alliance for Human Relevant Science and Animal Free Research UK has launched in July this year a one-of-its-kind online community.

They differ in terms of the research they do – but that makes the community more colourful. Heidi Lesscher, Sanne Nijhof en Odilia Laceulle all have the same focus: finding out how resilience works in children and how it can be strengthened.”
