Ethics in the Biosciences Briefing

The Ethics in the Biosciences Briefing is the second in a series of briefings from the UK Centre for Bioscience which bring together references and resources in specific areas of learning and teaching in the biosciences. With resources recommended by the bioscience teaching and learning community, produced by the Subject Centres and Higher Education Academy, CETLs and many other groups and individuals involved in learning and teaching the briefings will be of use and interest both to those with experience and those new to the topic. Each section of the briefing will be introduced by an expert in that area and reflects the author’s individual style and preference.
