“This book will help scientists think critically about why and how they use particular models. Striedter leverages philosophy, history, and science to analyze the common failure of animal research to translate to humans, and suggest how we can do better.”
—Jessica Bolker, Professor of Zoology, University of New Hampshire
“In his magisterial analysis of the role model systems play in the life sciences, Streidter provides an antidote for what ails biomedical research. This honest, erudite, and accessible book is a must-read for those who care about the future of the life sciences and the debt of service it owes society.”
—Susan M. Fitzpatrick, President, James S. McDonnell Foundation
