Abstract
This paper is concerned with the role of theoretical modelling in bioengineering research. The subject matter was delivered as the 12th annual Haughton Lecture, presented on 28 January 2006 at the Bioengineering in Ireland conference in Galway. The title of the lecture was "Telling Stories About Bone". The paper begins with some general remarks about what constitutes a scientific theory, and it moves on to a discussion about where ideas for theoretical models come from, taking examples from my own work on the mechanical strength and fracture of bone. I conclude with some advice to budding theoreticians.Entities:
