Biology 1000

1. Biology 1000 Joe Harris Cellular Biology Tennessee Tech. University

2. Major Concentration • My major concentration is cellular and molecular biology.

3. Biology Clubs and Organizations • While I study biology at Tech. I guess the club that appeals to me is the tri Beta club. The reason that it does interest me is because of the academic requirements that are needed to be accepted. The other clubs that were introduced also didn’t interest me because of the hunting, fishing aspect of the activities. I am also a picky eater and would not be interested in eating skunk or possum. I think that I had enough of the partying and camping aspects of life, and at this stage in my life those activities don’t appeal to me. I am sure that all of the clubs have fun and have their parties, but the fact that most of them don’t have an academic requirement is a real turn off for me. • Sincerely, • Joe Harris

6. Ethics • Members of the ASBMB are engaged in the quest for knowledge in biochemical and molecular biological sciences with the ultimate goal of advancing human welfare. Underlying this quest is the fundamental principle of trust. The ASBMB encourages its members to engage in the responsible practice of research required for such trust by fulfilling the following obligations.In fulfilling OBLIGATIONS TO THE PUBLIC, it is EXPECTED that: • investigators will promote and follow practices that enhance the public interest or well-being;investigators will use funds appropriately in the pursuit of their research;investigators will follow government and institutional requirements regulating research such as those ensuring the welfare of human subjects, the comfort and humane treatment of animal subjects and the protection of the environment;investigators will report research findings resulting from public funding in a full, open, and timely fashion to the scientific community; andinvestigators will share unique propagative materials developed through publicly-funded research with other scientists in a reasonable fashion.In fulfilling OBLIGATIONS TO OTHER investigators, it is EXPECTED that:investigators will have actually carried out experiments as reported; • investigators will represent their best understanding of their work in their descriptions and analyses of it;

7. Ethics • investigators will accurately describe methods used in experiments; • investigators will not report the work of others as if it were their own; • investigators in their publications will adequately summarize previous relevant work;investigators acting as reviewers will treat submitted manuscripts and grant applications confidentially and avoid inappropriate use; andinvestigators will disclose financial and other interests that might present a conflict-of-interest in their various activities such as reporting research results, serving as reviewers, and mentoring students.In fulfilling OBLIGATIONS TO TRAINEES, it is EXPECTED that:investigators serving as mentors will provide training and experience to advance the trainees' scientific skills and knowledge of ethical research practices; Investigators will provide appropriate help in advancing the careers of the trainees;investigators will recognize research contributions of the trainees appropriately;investigators will encourage and support the publication of results of trainees' research in a timely fashion without undisclosed limitations; and • investigators will create and maintain a working environment that encourages cultural diversity.
