HELP AGAIN: The National Science Foundation has funded a project to provide a data-based understanding of the professional values being developed by the next generation of scientists and engineers during their graduate education. The project includes a survey of graduate school deans, development of a questionnaire to learn how students and faculty define appropriate professional behavior under difficult circumstances, and focus sessions organized with academic departments in physics, biology, social sciences, and engineering.
