Abstract :
We have developed a several-hour long seminar that introduces students to the responsible conduct of research and ethics of professionalism. A broad spectrum of key issues in ethics is presented using recent reports of real ethical lapses and humorous examples from the public culture, followed by group discussions drawn from an extensive series of mini case scenarios developed by the author that are continually updated.
