# Science and Scientific Misconduct

## INQR-1160

This course will provide a comprehensive introduction to the field of ethics of scientific research. Why do seemingly good people do bad things? What is science? What is "bad" science? What constitutes scientific misconduct? We will explore the answers to these questions through fields such as Sociology, History, Philosophy, Psychology etc. Using evidence from contemporary and historical scientific experiments we will try to understand why researchers might commit scientific misconduct such as fabrication of results, plagiarism, and falsification of data. A brief overview some philosophical theories of ethics and several professional/scientific codes of ethics will be covered.
