Workshop Description: The Ethics of Science and Animals
Explore the scientific and ethical implications of animal research using hands-on, engaging activities. Receive the unit free on CD and complied in a binder.
This session will provide an overview of our animal research through presentations by a scientsits, a veterinarian, and tours through a research lab and animal housing facility.
Participants will receive practical strategies for managing bioethical discussions related to animal research, an overview of scientific aspects of biomedical research, and a CD containing the complete unit.
These materials were developed by the Northwest Association for Biomedical Research (www.nwabr.org) in conjunction with classroom teachers, ethicists, and scientific researchers and were made possible by a NIH Science Education Partnership Award grant. The session addresses National Life Science Content Standard F, Science in Personal and Social Perspectives, which indicates that all students should develop understanding of science and technology in local, national, and global challenges.
Presented by The Pennsylvania Society for Biomedical Research and the University of Pittsburgh
