Ethics Lab Series Part 2

Welcome returning and new members! We'll be hosting our second workshop at Rockefeller University for our Ethics Lab Series—aka part 2.

High school, college first-year, and second-year students are invited to partake in addressing the question: "Who gets to decide the future of science?". 

The workshop will focus on questions that are directly relevant to students and young researchers. This includes whether student mental health data from school apps should ever be shared with parents or institutions, fairness and bias in AI tools used for grading, hiring, or college admissions, gene editing for traits such as attention or memory, access to expensive new treatments when supply is limited, and the use of brain stimulation or focus drugs for academic performance.

​Students will make decisions as if they were part of a research ethics board. Through a fast-paced ethics relay, students will rotate through dilemma stations, respond to previous groups’ decisions, and build toward a final discussion where they approve, reject, or revise controversial study proposals.
