When Research Goes Wrong (and how to make it right)

Abstract

Whether working in a research lab or walking around campus, accidents are bound to happen. Some accidents are truly unpreventable, while others may have some clues along the way that could have stopped the incident in its tracks. This talk will focus on how to spot small things that can make a big impact in preventing accidents in both research and everyday life. The talk will also discuss how to handle situations on campus that might not go as planned, and who to contact in various scenarios.
