Professional Relations (22)
Professional ethics: A new look (PROF)
From ENRON to plagiarism, from music downloads to scientific fraud, each of us approaches these issues from the standpoint of our own individual set of ethical principles. This symposium, the first from the new ACS Committee on Ethics, will focus on ethical issues that confront the scientist, both in the workplace and in everyday life. It is the intent of the speakers to illustrate the complexity of some ethical issues and how differently these issues may be perceived across generational and gender lines.
