Kursusindhold
1) What is science, and what is not? What came before it? How do you identify 'pseudo-science'? Why is 'falsification' important, and do scientific results tell the truth? Over two days, professor Brian Grout and associate professor Karsten Klint Jensen will offer you a basic knowledge of the philosophies underlying modern scientific practice and set up investigative discussions and presentations on the matter among the participants. Day 1 and 2.

2) What does good ethical conduct mean for a PhD student? Should I offer my professor a co-authorship on my papers? - AND WHY NOT! professor Peter Sandøe will help you find the answers. Day 3.

3) What do life scientists need to know about Animal Ethics - and why? -with associate professor Mickey Gjerris. Day 4.

4) What are the roles and responsibilities that society expects of its scientists - and how do you live up to them? Are scientists trusted as honest communicators of science? Brian Grout will ask the question. Day 5.
