The Lab: Avoiding Academic Misconduct
The Office of Research Integrity has produced this interactive feature for students and faculty to explore ways to navigate ethical decision-making in a research experience. You can choose-your-own-adventure as a faculty member, research integrity officer, post-doc, or grad student. Though there is no undergraduate character, the story of the graduate student may closely match the situation of some undergraduates. This feature is geared toward the sciences, but informative (and entertaining) for all.
