Nearly all aspects of academic research encompass ethics in some form.  There is, however, a gray area where the distinction between an “honest error” (stemming from poor laboratory techniques or practices or oversight in the part of the researcher) and outright unethical behavior is hard to make.  This gives rise to ethical issues ranging from data management and presentation to human and animal experimentation.  This presentation will evaluate some of these so-called gray areas in the area of academic research, comment on the idea of institutional integrity in research, and emphasize the role of a mentor in maintaining ethical standards.
