Awareness
Recognition of differences and equality within and among organisms and cultures is crucial to good science. All scientists should be aware of themselves in the context of their fields. For those working with other cultures, recognizing people as stakeholders and collaborators in research is key to a truly ethical research program. For those working with non-human organismal systems, being aware of the fact that humans are part of natural systems, rather than external observers, redefines how such systems are studied and interpreted. In general, a respect and awareness for different world views is essential to academic growth and good science.
The following modules incorporate Awareness.
