iew\nIn recent years\, \; the scientific community has finally become
more generally aware of the current reproducibility and translatability cr
isis. Some of this awareness has come from the recent NIH initiative on &l
dquo\;Enhancing rigor\, transparency\, and translatability in animal resea
rch&rdquo\; starting a paradigm shift around certain themes. This shift ca
n be characterized at the micro level as a shift from asking &ldquo\;what
have 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
level\, 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
includes providing for an animals welfare as well as experimental design
and analysis techniques. Colleagues and I feel that we are witnessing the
birth of a new discipline\, which we have termed Therioepistemology\, or t
he study of how knowledge is gained from animal research. In this talk\, I
&rsquo\;ll outline six questions that help critically evaluate animal-base
d biomedical research from a therioepistemological perspective. Ultimately
\, by formalizing therioepistemology as a discipline\, we can begin to dis
cuss best practices that will improve the reproducibility and translatabil
ity of animal-based research\, with concomitant benefits in terms of human
health\, animal well-being\, and scientific quality.\nSpeaker details\n\n
