Discussion Topic: Climategate & the Ethics of Science and Public Policy, led by Dr. Tracy Frank

Join us once a month for conversation about ethics in context. You bring your experience, expertise and interest in ethics; we'll bring your lunch!

Sponsored by UNL's Robert J. Kutak Center for the Teaching and Study of Applied Ethics.

The Ethics Center promotes ethics across the disciplines at UNL. As part of our mission, we
are hosting brownbag luncheons throughout the academic year. These monthly luncheons
provide an interdisciplinary forum for university faculty, students, and staff to discuss
relevant case studies that highlight ethical questions arising throughout the disciplines.

If you would like to attend one of these brownbags and would like us to supply a lunch,
please email Steven Swartzer at swartzer@unlserve.unl.edu at least five days before the scheduled event. Or, if you prefer to bring your own lunch, just show up.

For more information about these brownbags or other Ethics Center events, opportunities
and resources, please visit our website: http://ethics.unl.edu
