Guide and case studies for the DVD “In the lab: mentors and students behind the scenes” / The Center for Ethics and Values in the Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 2005. DVD (80 min.) + guidebook.

This DVD contains three videos: mentoring and relationships in the laboratory, scientific misconduct, and authorship and collaboration. The creators look at personal relationships in laboratories and at suggestions for how to steer clear of scientific misconduct. They also look at the various ways labs decide whose name should go on papers which is your passport to a new job in a new laboratory, or better funding for the one in which you are already working.

Guidelines for the care and use of mammals in neuroscience and behavioral research/ Institute for Laboratory Animal Research and the Committee on Guidelines for the Use of Animals in Neuroscience and Behavioral Research, 2003. CD-ROM.

Provides current best practices for animal care and use and discusses how the regulations and guidelines provided by the Guide, the Animal Welfare Act, the Animal Welfare Act Regulations, and PHS Policy can be applied to neuroscience and behavioral research. Treats the development, evaluation, and implementation of animal-use protocols as a decision-making process, not just a decision. It encourages the use of professional judgment and careful interpretation of regulations and guidelines to develop performance standards that ensure animal well-being and high-quality research. This is an indispensable resource for researchers, veterinarians, and institutional animal care and use committees. Available online at: http://books.nap.edu/openbook/0309089034/html/index.html.
