Should I mention this as part of research experience?

In general, when you put research in your application... your expected to be good at answering ANY question thrown at you, especially the scientific ones.
As far as ethical goes.... with today's biology experiments, its hard to carry them without the use of animals. Can you imagine inventing a drug without animal experimentations? Whats more ethical, using a first-time drug on a mouse or human subject?..... I don't think this is going to give you problems, most of these research experiments are run with accordance to anti-animal cruelty laws.

Of course, I definitely think that if you mention research, then you should be able to answer any question they ask you in regards to what you've been researching.
Also, that is true in that it is quite common for research being conducted on animals these days and as long as they follow anti-cruelty laws, I also believe it should be fine. I was just worried that mentioning it may somehow negatively affect me.

what if your intervier is a dog person and you had done experienemtns on dogs (Euthanized them too).... He doesn't have any right to be offended or mad, but you can't control what he'll feel about you lol

This reminds of a thread on here I've read where someone asked if writing a research paper in their biology class constitutes "research experience".
lolz ensued.
The answer to the OP's question is...
Did you actually do research i.e. did you seek out an answer to a question using the scientific method?
If not, which is what it sounds like, then it's not research. What you have is just work.

Yeah I've kind of been struggling with what exactly is considered "research." So does that mean I can only count something as research experience if I get my name published in a journal article?
I've worked with various diagnostic machines and aided in experimental procedures...basically I've learned many laboratory techniques. Would any of that be relevant to include as part of research?
