Abstract
This paper presents an approach to using real and fictional case studies with a range of ethical dilemmas. The pedagogical method we describe is effective in a variety of venues from high school to undergraduate summer research programs to workshops with graduate and postdoctoral students. Although the activities are quite similar in each venue, we focus on different aspects of the cases to make them relevant to the particular groups participating in the activities. Several example cases (real and fictional) are provided for varying levels of participants; we also provide example of scenarios that are less effective in certain venues.
Supplement
Real and fictional case studies with discussion questions, including links to some additional resources
