CHEM 5350 - The Ethical Pursuit of Scientific Research

This class will lead to a better understanding of what the responsible pursuit of scholarship means for the chemical sciences. This goal will be obtained through an examination of both theoretical and documented cases of research misconduct. The audience for this class will be undergraduates, graduates, postdoctoral fellows and faculty that are invested in a career in chemistry. The class will cover topics ranging from publishing, intellectual property and data fabrication to laboratory safety and the role of chemistry in society and the environment.
