Abstract :
The application of network thermodynamics to the life sciences gave the promise that bond graph methodology would prove attractive to biologists and accelerate the use of mathematical modelling in the life sciences. That this has not happened is partly explained by the need for multiple metaphors, which is discussed in the paper. The strength of bond graphs as a multidiscipline common metaphor and its power for reticulation are then described. The need for improved computer aids is then discussed
