BioEthics Breakfast Club - Into the Field: Preparing for Successful Research

Join us for BioEthics Breakfast Club with Hinsby Cadillo-Quiroz, SOLS, Jennifer Richter, SFIS and Benjamin Trumble, SHESC

How do we address the issues of "parachute" science and safe research environments? What should new researchers know as they prepare for field work?
