Has a reviewer ever told you to add an animal experiment to your study?

Has an advisor told you that you have to use animal methods to advance your career?

Has a grant application of yours been rejected because it didn’t involve animals?

If so, you have experienced animal methods bias: when research is unfairly evaluated because it does not include animal-based experiments.
