Still Going
I enjoyed our conversation in class today. I find that the issue of ethics follows us everywhere in the workplace. The more we questioned what was ethical or not, the more I related the ideas brought up in class to writing my proposal. Professor Hauck brought up a good point in relation to my proposal. He asked me, "How are you certain that your PI who is in charge of breeding the CSS mice, really did so?" The only answer I could think of was that I wouldn't be certain, but my trust in my PI is what would make me confident in my experiment. I don't know if this is a good answer, but I have realized that you need to have an honest and trusting relationship with the contributors of personnel that are a part of the proposal and experiment.
I recently sent a copy of my proposal outline to my advisor for review. I hope she informs me of the different techniques they use in the lab for obtaining insulin levels of the mice. I hope to get a start on my actual rough draft this weekend. I'm excited to see how it turns out.
