Overview

\n< p>In recent years\, \; the scientific community has finally become mor e generally aware of the current reproducibility and translatability crisi s. Some of this awareness has come from the recent NIH initiative on &ldqu o\;Enhancing rigor\, transparency\, and translatability in animal research &rdquo\; starting a paradigm shift around certain themes. This shift can b e characterized at the micro level as a shift from asking &ldquo\;what hav e we controlled for in this model?&rdquo\; to asking &ldquo\;what have we chosen to ignore in this model\, and at what cost?&rdquo\; At the macro le vel\, it is a shift from viewing animals as tools (the furry test tube)\, to viewing them as patients in an equivalent human medical study\, this in cludes providing for an animals welfare as well as experimental design and analysis techniques. Colleagues and I feel that we are witnessing the bir th of a new discipline\, which we have termed Therioepistemology\, or the study of how knowledge is gained from animal research. In this talk\, I&rs quo\;ll outline six questions that help critically evaluate animal-based b iomedical research from a therioepistemological perspective. Ultimately\, by formalizing therioepistemology as a discipline\, we can begin to discus s best practices that will improve the reproducibility and translatability of animal-based research\, with concomitant benefits in terms of human he alth\, animal well-being\, and scientific quality.

She completed a postdoctoral posit ion at Charles River after graduation\, then returned to Purdue as a facul ty member in 2014 and was awarded tenure in 2020. Her research has focused on developing new animal welfare assessment methodologies\, rodent well-b eing\, and elucidating the scientific impact of welfare problems in animal based research.
