Dear Grad Students,
Please note that the Ethics in Research Seminar is mandatory for all FASE MASc and PhD students to attend and to leave a record of their attendance, to meet their degree requirements. Ideally, students are requested to participate in this course during their first course of study.
PLEASE NOTE: Attending and getting credit for this seminar is a graduation requirement. We highly recommend you doing it early in your academic career so it doesn’t delay things at the end!
This is an in-person seminar.
Below are the details. Please note, students who arrive late (after 5:20pm) will not be permitted to participate.
Here are the details:
Date: Thursday, November 28, 2024

Attendance will be recorded at the seminar. You will be required to fill out a form as part of this session to receive credit for the seminar; form will be provided during the session.
Please note: There is no need to be added to the actual course itself or Quercus. You will receive credit for this course once we confirm your attendance and it will appear on your academic history when grades are released for student viewing next term.
Some reference materials for the seminar are available in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering website at: http://gradstudies.engineering.utoronto.ca/ethics-intellectual-property/Links to an external site.
Reference to the following two cases will be made in the seminar, and these should be previewed before attendance.
The Dr. Nancy Olivieri Case
The Schoen Affair at Lucent
In 2019, Science Magazine, one of the leading peer reviewed journals, did a webinar called, Fighting Fake Science (Links to an external site.) with the objective of discussing the themes raised. A recording of the webinar is available at the above link. Some of the same themes discussed in the webinar are similar to the discussion we will be having. We highly recommend listening to the webinar before attending this lecture.
We have also created a form to get to know you and any issues you might be having. This is an optional way for you to bring forth some challenges you may be having in an anonymous way. No names will be collected or shared; any names added in the form will be changed prior to the lecture, but this is a way to tie together the real-world with the theoretical one. You can find the form here (Links to an external site.)
The next session offered will in Winter 2025.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to David Duong (d.duong@utoronto.ca)
