Some claim that these findings point to a “Crisis of Reproducibility” and it has caused alarm in a far ranging number of disciplines. But is there really any crisis at play and if so what are the ethical responsibilities of researchers and institutions in addressing this trend? This panel will discuss the potential ethical implications for the lack of reproducibility in research results not only for the reliability of science but also for the safety of research subjects.Panelists:Christopher Chartier - Psychology (Ashland University) and Director (Psychological Science Accelerator)Phillip Popovich - Neuroscience (The Ohio State University)Duane Wegener - Psychology (The Ohio State University) For more info and to register, please visit: go.osu.edu/carersvp Thompson Library 165 The STEAM Factory at The Ohio State University steamfactory@osu.edu America/New_York public
