Bioethics Breakfast Club

Join us this Wednesday, April 15, at 9 a.m. in LSC 202 for the Bioethics Breakfast Club featuring: 
Into the Field: Preparing for Successful Research
With Nancy Grimm, SOLS, and Ben Trumble, Human Evolution and Social Change

Studying life in context takes biologists into the field. What does successful, contemporary fieldwork look like? Safety, broadly understood to include harassment free workplaces, has been elevated to a required topic in responsible conduct of research. Many have called out the failures of "parachute" science and issues of who benefits from the research and the associated data sovereignty for the communities involved. What are the benefits and risks of field research? How do we address the issues of "parachute" science and safe research environments? What should new researchers know as they prepare for field work?
