𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲: This cover features photographs from the Henry Lester Institute of Medical Research's animal facilities in 1930s Shanghai. The images show standardized spaces for housing and experimenting on laboratory animals, including rats and rabbits. According to Anin Luo's analysis, such systematic management of experimental animals was central to establishing modern biology in China, enabling Chinese scientists to produce universally recognized scientific knowledge. The cover incorporates experimental data patterns to reflect how living animals were transformed into standardized research subjects in Republican China's pursuit of scientific modernity.
