Colleagues, The current issue of The Scientist has a story on an interactive film that helps research students and early career researchers to understand and navigate the perils of research misconduct. Highlights: "The Lab is a choose-your-own-adventure story about an incident of apparent research misconduct. ... At the outset, the viewer chooses one of four characters to follow: a grad student, a post doc, a PI, or a research integrity officer. Throughout the story, the viewer makes choices on behalf of this character, affecting the outcome. Make the right choices and misconduct is confronted and dealt with; make the wrong ones, and you're bound for infamy when the misconduct is uncovered years later." Go to this URL to read the full story: http://www.the-scientist.com/news/display/57993/ You can watch -- and play -- the film here: http://ori.hhs.gov/TheLab/ The film focuses on one lab in one field, but the issues and choices touch on the challenges of responsible research in many fields.
