It would not have been produced if the hand of man, or woman, had not intervened. But isn’t that hand also natural?

This new virtual Ethics course will retain much of the material and the interactive elements that our members value in the previous one day course. The course will provide an introduction to the ethical framework that guides professional chemists in the conduct of their duties. The course still focuses on solving practical issues that arise in professional practice.
