How Not to Study a Disease

The Story of Alzheimer's

Karl Herrup

A neurobiologist offers insight into why past efforts to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease have failed, and a vision for future research. With frankness, he describes the red flags science ignored in the rush for a cure. However, his final message is optimistic, and he presents a new and sweeping vision for the field. This roadmap for future research covers drug development, basic research, and the role of scientific media. How Not to Study a Disease provides a concise yet comprehensive guide for anyone interested in finding a cure for Alzheimer's.

This book by @KarlHerrup is an outstanding overview of the failure of the last three decades of Alzheimer's disease research. Many important lessons for science more generally as well. (h/t @NicoleCRust for the recommendation!)      source
