Week 8 Discussion - Misconduct and Norms for Science


Purpose

To assess your ability to give an example of misconduct in science.

 

Overview

To be sure, the ultimate goal of modern science is the advancement of certified knowledge (for the good of humankind).  But, the scientist’s integrity becomes the most important characteristic that guarantees that the knowledge produced via research is done properly.  So, when a modern scientist behaves in professionally unethical ways he or she is essentially breaking away from the community of scientists by violating the norms for expected behavior in science.

 

Action Items

  1. Review the readings and videos for this week.
  2. Identify a modern (within the last 100 years) example of misconduct in science that was not addressed in the readings or key points.
  3. Post an explanation of the incident with your sources of information. Explain what the misconduct was and what should have been done to stay within the norms of science.
  4. Within 48 hours of the due date, read your classmate's postings. Respond to one person who has not yet received a response.
