All kinds of research need an ethical approach. From the big questions, such as deciding if embryonic stem cells should be used, to the simple integrity that is expected in data collection and analysis - ethics are omnipresent. These are the things I initially wanted to write about when I thought about research ethics. But as I researched the topic, I noticed something unexpected: when I scanned the internet for cases of scientific fraud, the majority seemed to be in the field of biology. Was this my personal bias or was it a fact?
