SEMESTER STARTS WITH RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH

-- Work to be Done Outside of class Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) (0) Additional requirements to fulfill RCR training

Requirements

  • View the Responsible Conduct of Research and Scholarship - Presentation given to department chairs by professor Michael Hadjiargyrou 2010.06.08_hadjiargyrou.pdf
  • Complete a relevant RCR module, and achieve a 80% or higher quiz grade, within the web-based Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative located at http://www.citiprogram.org
  • Following the schedule below and prior to coming to each class: (i) view the appropriate online lecture, (ii) read additional accompanying materials, and (iii) come prepared for the days discussion topics
2012.01.25 Class discussion Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) (1) Integrity in Scholarship (Introduction to Ethics and Science)

Stony Brook Lecture


Readings (Nature articles)


Discussion

  • Why is the class important?
  • How should we behave as scientists?
  • How is science a social enterprise?
2012.02.01 Class discussion Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) (2) Scientific Misconduct

Stony Brook Lecture


Reading


Discussion

  • From Case Study 1: Was it appropriate for Dr. Chan to promise Samantha second authorship based on performing some assays?
  • From Case Study 1: It seems clear that there is a problem with Samantha's data. What should Julio do now?
  • How can the pressure to publish influence the conduct of research?
2012.02.08 Class discussion Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) (3) Mentoring

Stony Brook Lecture


Readings


Discussion

  • What qualities do you want in a mentor?
  • What are the challenges associated with being a mentor?
  • What does Professor Rubin mean when he says it is very important not to burn bridges?
