SESSION DESCRIPTION: If you are interested in obtaining a grant or publishing scholarly work, at some point, you must reckon with the peer review system. Peer review has its loud advocates and its even louder detractors. And, as is typical in these situations, both sides make valid observations. It is, no doubt, an imperfect system - but one that has served on more than a few occasions to encourage and promote high quality science that has impacted our knowledge and welfare.

COURSE DESCRIPTON: The RCR course is designed to run as a graduate-style seminar. Each session will be co-facilitated by the course director, research faculty, and administrative deans. This course is meant to provide an opportunity to openly and critically reflect with your peers and others about what responsibility and integrity should mean to the professional scientific community. To that end, you will be expected to have done the readings prior to class and you will be expected to participate in discussion.
