I remarked that few have taught liverland more about methods than peter.

One can - and does - graduate from Masters programs in public health and clinical research without knowing about the standards to which leaders like Peter have set for liver research.

So how do you learn?

You learn from example. Closely reading the methods sections of papers and applying what you see.

Who should you read?

I could name dozens of my influences. Here’s a few key examples:
