Message from the Dean

Resources

• On Being a Scientist: Responsible Conduct in Research
  "Research endeavors are becoming larger, more
  complex, and more expensive, creating new kinds of situations and relationships among researchers." Tackle the questions of how anomalous data should be treated;
  how values influence research; what are the borderlines between honest error, negligent error, and misconduct
  in science; and more through case studies.
  
  
• The Ethics of Teaching: A Casebook
  "A clear need exists to engage [...] in frank discussions
  of the ethical dilemmas that can arise during interactions with students, and such discussions should be coupled with constructive suggestions both for avoiding ethical predicaments and for dealing with them when they occur."
  
  
• Ethical issues related to accepting a job offer
  
  
• Research misconduct

"Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge
without integrity is dangerous
and dreadful.
