We are thrilled to announce that Anin Luo’s article, “Animal Scientism: Making Biology Experimental in Republican China,” has been awarded the 2025 Mullins Prize by the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S). Originally published online in 2024 and featured in EASTS Volume 19, Issue 1, this exceptional work explores a pivotal moment in Chinese biological research during the Republican era, when scientists shifted from descriptive to experimental methods. The article offers a compelling analysis of how this methodological transformation unfolded, shedding light on the broader scientific and cultural developments of the time. The formal award ceremony will be held this September at the 4S annual meeting in Seattle. Please join us in celebrating this remarkable achievement. Congratulations to Anin Luo!
