This journal club can focus on any area of science as long as it concerns ethical questions of research. Ideally, there will be a combination of “types” of ethical issues: case studies of past unethical research, controversial topics in science, techniques on researching more ethically, questions about animal rights, etc. For anyone looking to merge science and ethics, this is the journal club for you!
