Researchers could reduce experiments on nonhuman primates by studying data that have already been collected to answer new questions，says David OConnor，a pathologist at the University of Wisconsin Madison.OConnor is walking_the_walk：his laboratory studies the Zika virus in primates Seattle-based Allen Institute for Brain Science，which uses rhesus macaques，small South Asian monkeys，to study the molecular basis of brain development，also makes all results public.OConnor says this practice should be more widespread so that “researchers who are using this scarce but vital resource can learn as much as possible from as few animals as necessary”．Stilly，in which data are kept under wraps until they are published in a peer-reviewed journal.One step toward full transparency is to follow the lead of human clinical trials，says Christine Grady，a bioethicist at the NIH.U.S.law requires most clinical trials to register online and make their results public，even if a study fails or is inconclusive.This ensures that other researchers can learn from a trial regardless of its results—a move that could also safeguard primates against being used for the same thing twice.Nancy Haigwood，director of the Oregon National Primate Research Center，also says da
