The San Jose Mercury News, as part of an investigative report on researcher-industry conflicts of interest at Stanford University, has created a clever animated board game entitled “You be the researcher.” The animation shows how easy it is to get into situations that are borderline (or worse) unethical.
I’d have done the animation somewhat differently (including making the type easier to read in a normal browser window), but overall it’s a terrific visual aid to the series. It would have been even better if it had been more interactive: offering real choices that let people make their own decisions, and see what the consequences would be.
