Retractions: On the Rise, But Not Enough

Retractions of scientific papers, due to fraud, fabrication or scientific misconduct, have been increasing, seriously undermining science and threatening public trust. But why, and what should we do about it? Join us for a conversation with Ivan Oransky, MD, who co-founded Retraction Watch, the nonprofit journalism organization that reports on issues related to scientific integrity and catalogs retractions.

As advances in biotechnology and biomedicine gain momentum, so do issues concerning their ethical, legal, and social implications in the United States and around the world. From stem cell research to healthcare reform, these topics involve critical dilemmas at the intersections of law, society, culture, public policy, philosophy, religion, economics, and history. The Master of Science in Bioethics grounds students in interdisciplinary approaches and models to address the most pressing bioethical challenges. The program prepares students to act as responsible and responsive leaders in this new and ever-growing field. It also includes a concentration in global bioethics - the first of its kind in the U.S. Columbia's Bioethics program offers a range of degrees and courses.
