Ethics in research

Kenyon ought to include this topic in its natural science research courses or as a stand-alone course. If only to explore and discuss some of the issues that scientists encounter in the wider world. To gain a better understanding of the complexities of research outside of asking questions for an experiment. And finally, my favorite, how this work (and its funding) relate to the broader public trust in the scientist. Oh science and society.
