Editor's Note:
This month we are
pleased to present a new book titled "BIAS! How Systemic Error
Threatens Biomedical Research" by Yale professor Michael Bracken.
This looks like a great addition to your summer reading list.
We are hoping to
present more lists of free books in the coming months. If you are
cleaning out your bookshelves please let us know so we can help you
direct the excess to someone who the books.
We are also interested
in publishing book reviews. If you have a new book that you have read
or written that you believes deserves to be seen by a wider audience
please send us the information you have on it. If you're interested
in reviewing books for the EpiMonitor, just drop us a line and we'll
start a discussion to see what we can work out.

Professor
Michael Bracken's new book has just been published by
Cambridge University Press: "BIAS! How Systemic Error
Threatens Biomedical Research" The book is described by
CUP:
"An intricate landscape of bias permeates
biomedical research. In this groundbreaking exploration the
myriad sources of bias shaping research outcomes, from
cognitive biases inherent in researchers to the selection of
study subjects and data interpretation, are examined in
detail. With a focus on randomized controlled trials,
pharmacologic studies, genetic research, animal studies, and
pandemic analyses, it illuminates how bias distorts the
quest for scientific truth. Historical and contemporary
examples vividly illustrate the impact of biases across
research domains. Offering insights on recognizing and
mitigating bias, this comprehensive work equips scientists
and research teams with tools to navigate the complex
terrain of biased research practices. A must-read for anyone
seeking a deeper understanding of the critical role biases
play in shaping the reliability and reproducibility of
biomedical research." |
