Primatologist Jane Goodall joined more than 380 scientists who on Wednesday urged the National Institutes of Health to review and end funding for “cruel experiments” on macaque monkeys, some of which involve implanting electrodes in the animals’ brains.

Hundreds of scientists, doctors and academics from around the world — including renowned primatologist Jane Goodall — on Wednesday urged the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to review and ultimately end funding for “cruel experiments” on non-human primates at Harvard University.
In a letter led by Harvard Law School’s Animal Law & Policy Clinic and the Wild Minds Lab at the University of St. Andrews School of Psychology and Neuroscience in the U.K., 380 signatories urge senior National Institutes of Health officials to “review the protocols and justifications” related to the “funding of unethical experiments on macaque monkeys and other non-human primates taking place at Harvard Medical School.”
