Dr Nicole C. Nelson
Dr. Nelson's research focuses on complexity and uncertainty in biomedicine, with a particular focus on preclinical research with animal models. Dr Nelson's book, Model Behavior, is an ethnography of a mouse behavior genetics laboratory where scientists were struggling with how to study complex psychiatric disorders in the controlled setting of the laboratory. Her current project examines the “reproducibility crisis” in biomedicine, a recent phenomenon where scientists have found many supposedly stable findings to be difficult to replicate on subsequent investigation.
