Academic program in Area V:
Rights and Responsibilities in Research Seminar (RRR)
The Area V faculty and research staff conduct an interesting seminar on “Rights and Responsibilities in Research” which is recommended to all graduate students. During these evening “dinner seminars,” discussions center on a variety of situations that you may encounter in your professional career. The situations that will be discussed may include i) how to determine who is a coauthor on a paper or co-inventor on a patent, or ii) what should you do if you discover a mistake in work that is already published, or iii) what if you discover that a student colleague is violating an important safety rule in the lab, as a few examples. You will have an opportunity to discuss these issues with faculty and other students.
NOTE: The RRR Seminar will not be offered in the Fall 2008 Semester. The RRR Seminar is planned for IAP 2009 or Spring Semester 2009. Please stay tuned for information updates.
