In addition to our regular features, such as Recent Headlines, Government and Legal News, and Public Policy, this issue included…
- A link to our annual membership survey, so you can tell us how we can better help our vibrant membership community to connect, learn, and advance ethical research;
- This month’s website feature of the month – PRIM&R is on Twitter!;
- A reminder that September 1 is the deadline to register for the fall 2009 CPIA exam period;
- An interview with our volunteer of the month, Michelle Miller;
- Registration information for PRIM&R’s September Regional Programs and the 2009 Advancing Ethical Research Conference;
- A featured talk from PRIM&R Through the Years. This month’s feature is a session from the 1991 The Evolution of Protecting Human Subjects from Nuremberg to the Nineties conference, titled “Writing Miss Evers' Boys” presented by David Feldshuh; and
- A welcome to PRIM&R’s new project manager, Lisa Seidman!
The Feldshuh presentation is fascinating. I have heard of the play in passing before, but was not aware it was written by a doctor, nor that it attempts to cover the decision-making and results thereof throughout the duration of the study. I'm definitely thinking about ordering PRIM&R Through the Years if that's the sort of stuff it includes!
