VCU Science Symposium Panel Discussion

Ethics of Animal Research article

Dear CBGS Students- This year at our annual VCU Science Symposium on March 15, we will be having a panelist discussion regarding the ethical issues surrounding research on live animals.  This is a very contentious issue in science and one about which pretty much everyone has an opinion.  Your teachers would like you to read the article linked above, and do some thinking about how you feel about this issue.  We would like for you to write one to two pages in your journal about the issues presented in the article and also to jot down 2-3 questions you would like to submit to the expert panel who will discuss some of the submissions at the Symposium.  Your journal article and questions will be graded and count in your Biology and Chemistry classes.  Seniors, we ask that you also read the article, but as you already have a lot to do for that day, you do not have to do the written assignment, feel free to submit questions if you wish.  Okay?  Questions are due no later than 2/14, entire assignment 2/28.

To submit your questions electronically click the link, then under the "File"menu, select "make a copy", after you have made a copy, save it as your last name, and then fill out the form.  To save as your name, just click on the file name at the top and overwrite the file name.  Good luck!!!
