The Responsible Scientist I
Calla Lee Telzrow, Erika Crosby
Description from DukeHub
This course, required for all 1st year PhD students in the School of Medicine, utilizes online lectures/modules, in-person lectures and small group discussions, and focuses on Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) and Rigor & Reproducibility (R&R) topics for early-stage graduate students. Small group sessions centered on expanding the online/lecture material through discussion questions and case studies build community and encourage continual embedded dialogue about best practices in RCR and R&R. Small groups are led by training faculty representing each of the PhD training programs and departments, with teaching assistance from senior graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
