Abstract

Little training is provided for researchers in the proper care and handling of laboratory animals, selecting the best species for use in research projects, selecting the proper experimental technique to obtain the data which will provide them with the information needed to answer the questions being asked, or preparing for the technical problems which need to be avoided or anticipated and handled so that the desired project will not be a waste of time, resources, and energy. Sometimes a poor experiment carried out carefully and meticulously will be of some scientific value despite shortcomings in the original experimental design. However, a well-conceived study, regardless of its intellectual clarity and brilliance, will be of little or no value when pursued without the necessary laboratory background or experience, without the proper techniques, and without proper awareness of the possible technical difficulties. Assumptions drawn from data which are obtained using techniques not clearly understood, obtained using improper techniques, and obtained from ignorance of potential difficulties of techniques can lead the researcher to reach mistaken conclusions about the questions being asked.
