Text of Note

"Experimental Design for Biologists explains how to establish the framework for an experimental project, how to set up a system, design experiments within that system, and determine and use the correct set of controls. Separate chapters are devoted to negative controls, positive controls, and other categories of controls that are perhaps less recognized, such as "assumption controls," and "experimentalist controls." Furthermore, there are sections on establishing the experimental system, which include performing critical "system controls.""--Jacket.
