Here are three potential courses of action for Dr. Wexford along with brief ethical justifications:
1. Share the full dataset with the other research team while maintaining oversight to ensure proper use and acknowledgement in any publications. This promotes openness and collaboration in scientific research.
2. Agree to collaborate with the other team on a study of pesticide exposure and skin cancer while maintaining sole rights to publish on this topic from the dataset for a limited time period (e.g. 1 year). This balances openness with protecting her research interests.
3. Politely decline sharing the full dataset but offer to discuss or share de-identified summary findings relevant to their research question. This protects her interests while still promoting discussion and
This document summarizes a Delphi panel discussion on the logistical and ethical considerations of patient engagement in research. The panelists, who represent the first generation of researchers formally trained in patient engagement, discussed multiple topics. They agreed that it is permissible for patients to switch roles after study participation ends, but debated what defines the end of participation. The panel also discussed challenges around tokenism in patient engagement and a lack of preparedness to submit ethics applications involving patients. Overall, the panel saw value in patient engagement despite the difficulties, but recognized the need to address issues around roles, power sharing, education and vulnerability.
This document discusses scientific misconduct and responsible research practices. It defines scientific misconduct as fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in research. This includes making up data, manipulating research materials to misrepresent results, and using other's ideas without credit. Responsible research involves following approved protocols, protecting participants, accurately recording and sharing results, and publishing ethically. Maintaining integrity is important to ensure reliable research and public trust.
This document discusses key ethical considerations in research including informed consent, privacy, confidentiality, potential harms, and benefits. It addresses ethics committees that review proposed research methodology and adherence to ethical codes. Key principles of ethical research are protecting participants, voluntary participation with informed consent, and following national laws. The document also examines ethical issues around vulnerable groups, deception, incentives, and how to respond to ethical dilemmas that may arise during a study.
This document discusses scientific misconduct in research such as fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism. It notes that fabrication is the invention of data and falsification is the alteration of experimental results. While rates of misconduct vary, some studies suggest 2-14% of scientists have engaged in fabrication or falsification. Motivations for misconduct include academic pressure and desire for recognition. Consequences include career damage, loss of credentials, and erosion of public trust in research. Preventing misconduct requires strong policies, oversight, and education regarding ethical research practices.
This document discusses scientific misconduct and defines key related terms. It begins by defining science and scientific conduct, noting science involves establishing cause and effect relationships through logic. Scientific conduct requires objectivity, impartiality, willingness to change beliefs based on evidence, verification of findings, and precision. The document then defines scientific misconduct as fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism, noting these behaviors violate ethical standards and risk one's career. Several common types of misconduct are outlined, including falsification of data. Key organizations that define misconduct are also mentioned.

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) or evidence-based practice (EBP) aims to apply the best available evidence gained from the scientific method to clinical decision making. It seeks to assess the strength of evidence of the risks and benefits of treatments (including lack of treatment) and diagnostic tests. Evidence quality can range from meta-analyses and systematic reviews of double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials at the top end, down to conventional wisdom at the bottom.
Ethical standards are important in research for several reasons. They promote truthful and accurate research by prohibiting falsification of data. They also promote collaboration through values like trust and accountability. Ethical standards ensure researchers are accountable to the public since they are often publicly funded. Following ethics helps build public support and trust in research. Areas of unethical conduct include plagiarism, fabrication, failing to publish results, faulty methods, and improper authorship. Researchers have a duty to protect subjects' rights, obtain informed consent, and conduct legal and responsible research.

This document discusses ethics considerations for conducting social research in virtual worlds. It outlines some potential uses of virtual worlds for research, including as a tool for coordination, observing behavior, and studying community formation. However, it also notes challenges like participants not being accustomed to formal research and difficulties with identity verification and informed consent. The document presents a case study of a job interview study in Second Life and discusses ethics issues that could arise, like protecting social groups. It proposes a "Virtual World Subject's Bill of Rights" to help ensure subjects understand the research, risks/benefits, their rights to participate as their avatar and withdraw from studies.

Ethical aspects of health research nursing research pptNursing Path
This document discusses the ethical aspects of health research. It begins by defining ethics and bioethics. Ethical guidelines are necessary to protect human subjects, as seen in historical examples like the Nazi experiments and Tuskegee study. Ethical dilemmas can arise over whether a new treatment prolongs life. Key codes discussed include the Nuremberg Code, Declaration of Helsinki, and Belmont Report. The three main ethical principles are beneficence, respect for human dignity, and justice. Informed consent and protecting vulnerable groups are also examined. Research must undergo external reviews by boards to safeguard human rights.
The document discusses establishing an international network for knowledge sharing between police organizations. It proposes creating a central website or "meta site" called the International Police Expertise Platform (IPEP) to serve as a hub for collaborating and accessing police training resources. Key features would include a knowledge bank, expert directories, communities of practice, and e-learning modules covering topics like peacekeeping, detective work, and forensic procedures. An action plan is outlined to launch an initial version in 2007 and further develop the platform with support from international organizations in subsequent years.

The document discusses the seven basic principles of forensic science:
1) The law of individuality states that every natural or man-made object has unique identifying features. Extensive work in fingerprints has verified this.
2) The principle of exchange means that when a criminal comes into contact with a victim or crime scene, they leave traces and pick up traces from the contact.
3) The law of progressive change recognizes that everything changes over time, impacting how criminals, crime scenes and evidence can be identified.
An investigator's job is to determine key details of a crime including who the perpetrator and victim are, what happened and when, and how the crime occurred. They collect and analyze evidence from the crime scene such as fingerprints, DNA, footprints and insect activity to help establish things like the time of death and a potential suspect's height and movements. The investigator works methodically, carefully documenting and collecting all evidence before questioning witnesses and suspects to solve the crime.
Forensic science is the application of science to address legal matters. It involves using various scientific techniques to analyze evidence found at crime scenes. Some key areas of forensic science include analyzing fingerprints, DNA, ballistics, toxicology, pathology, entomology, questioned documents, and trace evidence. The goal is to apply scientific processes and reasoning to help determine exactly what happened in criminal cases.
The document discusses the need for PhDs and what a PhD represents. It notes that a PhD demonstrates the ability to conduct research and extend human knowledge through investigation and deep understanding. It also clarifies that a PhD is a research-focused degree, not a professional degree. The document outlines several fields of doctoral study and notes that while some fields have reached saturation, others continue to grow. It emphasizes that more PhDs are needed to fill roles as professors, researchers, and to help communities and policymakers solve problems through research.
The document discusses the need for Ph.D.s and what a Ph.D. represents. It notes that a Ph.D. is an advanced degree focused on research that makes an original contribution to knowledge. It outlines various fields of doctoral study and argues that more Ph.D.s are needed to fill roles as professors, researchers, and to help communities and policymakers. Puerto Rico in particular needs more Ph.D.s due to its strong life sciences industry.
Brendan Chapman is seeking a position as a Medical Science Liaison with over 11 years of experience in neuroscience, biotechnology, and pathophysiology. He has worked as both a faculty member at Centennial College teaching biotechnology and health sciences courses, and as a research assistant at the Center for Brain and Mind. Chapman has strong communication, interpersonal, and project management skills and has experience working in both academic and industry settings.
The document provides information about MD-PhD programs, including what an MD-PhD degree entails, the pros and cons of pursuing one, and how to apply. An MD-PhD combines medical school and a PhD program, typically taking 8 years or more to complete. Graduates often work in academic medicine, conducting translational research. Upsides include training for careers at the intersection of research and medicine, but it is a long commitment with transitions between clinical and research phases. Strong research experience is important for competitive applications.
This document provides guidance on funding options for clinical research. It discusses considering one's goals and interests to determine the appropriate funding. National Institutes of Health grants such as K-awards and R01 grants are recommended for spending significant time in academic investigation. Small internal grants can provide pilot data for larger grants. Industry-sponsored clinical trials are another option but require ensuring publication rights and managing conflicts of interest. The document stresses applying to multiple sources and being creative in finding support that aligns with one's research goals.
This document provides information about a webinar on writing winning grant proposals hosted by Research4Life. The webinar will cover the grant writing process from identifying funding sources to receiving funds. It will include topics such as selecting a call, choosing a research topic and team, and components of a full proposal such as the research background and objectives, budget, timeline, and management plan. The webinar aims to provide eligible participants from Research4Life countries with strategies for successfully obtaining research funding. A pre-webinar poll asks participants about their grant writing experience and current work on proposals.
It has become imperative to conduct funded research in today's highly resource constrained landscape of higher education. We must understand the attributes of research the mindset of researcher and the requirements of funded research.

Speech-language pathology involves evaluating and treating people with speech, language, voice, and fluency disorders. The document provides an overview of the history and development of the field from the 1700s to present day. It describes the typical daily responsibilities of a speech-language pathologist which include assessing patients, creating treatment plans, documenting progress, and adjusting plans as needed. The career requires skills in active listening, critical thinking, and social perceptiveness. Employment in the field is expected to grow 21% by 2024 due to an aging population. The annual salary typically ranges from $44,940 to $111,000.
It is about introducing the research concept for the undergraduate students studying in life science stream. It is even helpful for the teachers at UG levels.

Talking to the “real world”: Communicating Science to General AudiencesKara Gavin
Kara Gavin is a public relations representative at Michigan Medicine who communicates science to general audiences. She trains researchers on how to effectively communicate their work to non-experts and helps disseminate research findings. Most people have limited scientific literacy and understanding of health topics. Communicating science is important so research reaches those who fund and are impacted by it, and so the non-expert public can understand advances in medicine and science.
This document provides advice on obtaining research grants. It discusses choosing funding bodies and collaborators, laying the groundwork, writing proposals, presentation, costs, justification, reviews, outcomes, and reapplying if not initially successful. Key points include focusing proposals, using positive language, addressing reviewer criteria, managing timelines, and learning from feedback to improve future applications.
HPSA Becoming a Student Doctor (Virtual)Emil Chuck
I built a curated resource to build a "bootcamp" course for students aspiring to become health professionals like doctors, dentists, pharmacists, veterinarians, and optometrists. This virtual poster was presented for the Academy for Professionalism in Health Care in 2022. After it was launched, around 100 students have accessed it through the Health Professional Student Association and Student Doctor Network. We are looking for opportunities to partner with other organizations to build leadership skills for future healthcare providers, especially given the challenges for the next decade.

ADEA 2010 Competency Based Evaluation Of Predental ApplicantsEmil Chuck
New Idea Session on Competency-Based Evaluation of Predental Students from the data-driven evaluation side (predental advising and letters of evaluation).
The document discusses the benefits of undergraduate research experiences. It outlines how research experience benefits the student's education by allowing them to practice problem-solving skills, immerse themselves in a field of study, and build relationships. Research is also beneficial for gaining admission to graduate programs, as it is often a required experience. The document also notes that research helps develop important skills for medical students such as analytical thinking and self-directed learning.
The document provides guidance on networking effectively. It emphasizes the importance of knowing yourself by recognizing your talents, accomplishments, dreams, and curiosities. It also stresses preparing a one-minute "elevator speech" about yourself and building relationships through activities at conferences like networking meals, exhibit halls, and receptions. The document includes examples for attendees to write down information about themselves and their strengths to share with others.
Great Expectations for Great Applications 2009Emil Chuck

Publishing In The Postdoc Pipeline Rev 010208Emil Chuck
This draft manuscript was never able to be published because the statistics required to pass seemed a bit too daunting, so now I allow it be viewed publicly. This is an analysis I did to see if I can calculate the first-author "publication rate" of postdocs from self-disclosed responses in the 2004 Sigma Xi Postdoctoral Survey. I also looked at variations in the way a publication rate can be viewed based on various demographic and training outcomes.
If you have comments in how I can improve or publicize the results of this document, please let me know.
June 22, 2009, Aspiring Summer Scientist Internship Program presentation. NPA Core Competencies for high school and undergraduate biomedical researchers.
Emil Chuck discusses how advisors can use technology to improve advising efficiency and effectiveness. Some key technologies discussed include cell phones, computers, printers, and presentation tools. Chuck emphasizes matching the right tools to the tasks and using tools that students are already using for communication and feedback. Technologies should save more time than they create frustration and not all helpful tools need to be complicated or flashy.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
