[edit] Magnus opus

I think it would be good to present a summary of Bernard's magnum opus, -- An Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine because it is a classic and says a great deal about the ethics of science and the misuse of science today.--samivel 18:15, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Review comments

Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

• Template:Infobox Scientist should be added
• Needs copy editing for grammar in places
• Lead needs expanding to cover all aspects of the subject's life and research
• Further organisation of the article would be beneficial; the section on An Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine is currently disproportionately long
• A graphic relating to An Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine would be interesting, eg cover of first edition
• Information on research should be expanded and inline references are important
• References should be expanded to cover all facts and claims, and should be converted to the inline format
• External links present which could be used to expand article

• Need to double check quotations. Bernard was quoted asserting that "theories are verified hypotheses" when in fact he said "theories are only hypotheses." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.8.217.15 (talk) 22:54, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
