When scientists lack an understanding of the impact of their research on society, disregard bioethical standards, or fail to treat their subjects humanely, it can lead to dire outcomes. As our understanding of science deepens, it is increasingly important that scientists, medical practitioners, engineers, policy makers, and every day citizens are able to think critically about the impact of science on society. In this workshop we will learn about ways science has been used irresponsibility and think about ways to incorporate criticality, bioethics, and current events into our science classes so that our students (and our future scientists, medical practitioners, engineers, policy makers, and every day citizen) are better equipped to face the challenges of tomorrow.
