Description
Using history, the course  enriches the understanding of ethics and social responsibility in science, technology, and medicine.  Furthermore, it links up to present standards, dilemmas, and practices and offers multi-faceted training and experiences, which would be indispensable to the young scientist throughout his/her career. The course is a rare combination of in-depth historical-philosophical perspectives coupled with `hands-on' experiences. It aims to teach students how to deal effectively with issues pertaining to human/animal experiments, peer review, paper authorship, conflict of interest and other big career items not only for the time being but also for life, as these are in a state of continuous flux.
