CARE Panel: Is ChatGPT my Co-Author? The Ethics of Publishing, Co-Authorship, and LLMs (Zoom)
Featuring Panelists:
Dr. Gordon Hull (Professor of Philosophy & Director of Center for Professional and Applied Ethics, UNC Charlotte)
Michael Flierl (Associate Professor & Student Learning Librarian, OSU Libraries)
This panel will discuss how scientific and academic journals should respond to the growing concerns related to large language models (LLMs) and authorship. For example, are concerns regarding the use of LLMs for research writing overblown? Are there any appropriate ways for using LLMs in academic scholarship? Should journal networks update policies so that researchers can specify that text generated by ChatGPT (or any other AI tools) was not used in their work?
Faculty Research Mentoring Workshop
The Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) is presenting a Research Mentoring workshop December 8, 2023, from Noon to 4 PM at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Lunch will be provided.
Nationwide Children’s Hospital
Research Building 3, room WB 1110
(Specific information about location, transportation, parking will be provided to registrants)
The training is designed to help faculty who mentor early career researchers, especially junior faculty, to become more effective research and career mentors.
The workshop uses a case-based, discussion-oriented curriculum designed by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experience in Research (CIMER). CIMER develops theoretically-grounded, evidence-based, and culturally-responsive training materials. A randomized controlled trial of this mentoring curriculum demonstrated that this training improved the skills of mentors.
To Register for the December 8 program, go to: https://go.osu.edu/researchmentortraining
Contact: Rachel.Bergman@osumc.edu
Watch the CCTS Newsletter in coming months for more announcements about training in mentoring for the academic year 2023-2024 and our Mentor Better program of mentoring refresher workshops.

CARE Panel: The Ethics of Human Challenge Studies (Zoom)
Human challenge trials, which intentionally expose healthy volunteers to disease, have historically been part of scientific research and have contributed to vital scientific advances in drug and vaccine development. Nevertheless, such research has been criticized as conflicting with the guiding principle in medicine to do no harm. This panel will discuss: under what conditions, if ever, are such trials appropriate? And are there upper limits of risk that we can ask participants to incur for the purposes of research?
Featuring Panelists :
Seema K. Shah, JD
Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Northwestern University Medical School & Director of Research Ethics at Lurie Children’s Hospital
Susan L. Koletar, MD, FACP, FIDSA
Professor of Infectious Diseases and Internal Medicine, Director of the Division of Infectious Diseases, and Principal Investigator of AIDS Clinical Trials Unit; OSU
New Crane Policy Chat: Child care in rural communities (Zoom)
Join us for our first Crane Policy Chat, a one-hour conversation with an expert guest who will share insights, research, or expertise on relevant policy issues in early childhood.
Our first policy chat will feature Dr. Shoshanah Inwood, associate professor of rural sociology at OSU, who will join us for a virtual conversation and Q&A about the recent U.S. Farm Bill and rural child care challenges. This major federal legislation defines the nation’s food production policy and federal assistance for farmers, and its inclusion of child care as a priority is historic. If passed, the bill will open access to rural child care options for U.S. farmers and could pave the way for future proposals to prioritize child care.
Dr. Inwood, a former farmer herself, will share her research that brought this issue to the forefront and how she helped the U.S. Congress understand its importance. This conversation will be facilitated with Jamie O’Leary, Crane’s associate director of policy and external affairs.
