D. Sherman: The next topic was suggested based on the discussion at last year's Core Facility Management session. Those of you who have not been involved in formal discussions on scientific ethics probably are going to have your eyes opened a bit. There is no such thing as a quick answer when it comes to ethics. What was initially brought up last year was the question of what are our responsibilities as facility managers when we see things going on that are perhaps not exactly appropriate as far as interpretation of data and such.
