Here's an article in Nature about how many animal studies with negative or inconclusive results go unpublished. It raises the question of how useful animal research really is if we only see the studies that show relevant results. What about the ones that are negative because animals are not really representative of human biology?

I'm updating this rant from a few years ago regarding why I question animal testing. I get frustrated when people accept a scientist's opinion in support of animal testing simply because that person is a scientist. Do they work for a drug company that tests on animals? Is their job therefore dependent on that company's success?
