Chemistry Ethics Workshop
Professional ethics is: 1. common sense 2. a natural outcome of your upbringing 3. something that ACS should dictate 4. agreement with me, because of course I’m right If you chose any of the above, you will want to attend the NERM2008 Professional Ethics workshop on Tuesday evening. It is still amazing to us (the facilitators) how deeply divided and polarized an audience can be over seemingly simple ethical issues. It is also interesting to see an entire audience change its attitude with the interjection of a single new piece of information into the scenario. In our Professional Ethics workshop, ethical conundrums are presented that reveal the complexity of issues and the diversity of opinions among audience participants. Participants are invited to address ethical issues like the one included below. Response clickers will be used to provide anonymous initial responses, but audience members can expect to be drawn into a free-wheeling debate at any time. Organized by the ACS Committee on Ethics
Sponsor:	ACS Division of Professional Relations (PROF)
Workshop Leader:	David J. Chesney
