Ethics

Research ethics is the foundation of all research. While most of the responsibilyt is with our PIs and customers to handle the necessary ethics consideration, we are expected to know enough to support them. We must also be able to realize when ethics considerations or processes are needed and not being followed - and gently remind our customers to do that.

Software and data is the expression of the research methods, and thus we are often called upon to help describe the research and how data is being protected during it. A key part of our job is doing this support, and even helping to design research to meet ethical standards as reliably and efficiently as possible. Everyone needs to know the basics, and our team must have a few experts in these topics.
