ABSTRACT:
Lines in the Sand:  Negotiations in Fidelity

In her presentation, Dr. Bennett-Woods explores the fragmented nature of personal and professional fidelity as it relates to the role of the scientist.  In addition, the mutual nature of fidelity is argued, with informed public participation being a necessary condition in guiding the path of science into the future.
