The REU seminar series will begin with an introductory session led by Garon Smith.

Law, compliance and ethics: connections and differences
Ethical responsibilities of research – investigators, institution, and everyone else
Ethical responsibilities in the mentor/trainee relationship
Systematic Moral Analysis (getting clear on the ethical issue and identification of
parties affected and potential harms) and justification (separation of morally permitted actions from those that are morally prohibited and identification of morally ideal alternatives).
