3. Current Events
Both the lay press and the scientific literature regularly report on events relevant to the discussion of research ethics. Each participant in the course should find a story of interest that was published no earlier than 4 weeks before the start of the course. He or she will submit a print version (name, source of the news story, and its title) and then make a brief presentation (<2 minutes) describing the current event and commenting on why it is of interest. Presentations will be made during the weeks listed, but everyone should be prepared to present as early as the first listed date.
