This discussion-based seminar course covers a variety of topics related to the ethical norms of performing research science. Topics include: integrity and misconduct; mentorship and relationships; authorship, collaboration, and conflicts of interest; treatment of human and animal subjects; data stewardship; and the societal impact of scientific research. We will also explore the field of neuroethics. The course is required for Neuroscience graduate students and fulfills the NIH requirement for instruction in the Responsible Conduct of Research.
