Hi folks, for those of you who will be attending EPA, I'd like to draw your attention to this year's Psi Chi invited address, which will be given by Dr. Peggy Fischer who is Associate Inspector General for Scientific Integrity in the Office of Inspector General at the National Science Foundation. Below you will find a short description of her presentation, which will take place on Friday at 12:30. She is a terrific speaker and the topic should be of interest to both, faculty and students.
Title: Can a little fabrication, falsification or plagiarism really ruin your day?: Tales (and Lessons) from the Trenches So much to learn and so little time....why do ethics and making the right choices matter? Can a little cheating really hurt? An investigator from the Office of Inspector General at the National Science Foundation will discuss previous investigations into allegations against students and why the responsible conduct of research is important to your career both practically and ethically. The National Science Foundation Office of Inspector General (NSF OIG) is responsible for conducting investigations into allegations of research misconduct, fraud, waste and abuse related to NSF's programs and operations. Learn from others what mistakes to avoid and what to do if you spot trouble or it comes knocking at your door. -- Miguel Roig, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Psychology Notre Dame Div., St. John's College St. John's University 300 Howard Avenue Staten Island, NY 10301 (718) 390-4513 Fax: (718) 442-3612 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://facpub.stjohns.edu/~roigm --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
