“Scientists are not born with ethics, nor is science ethically neutral,” says Roald Hoffmann, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry.

Current projects provide web materials for an IUPAC project that raises awareness of the multiple ways humans use chemicals and for Roald Hoffmann’s play ‘Should’ve.’ The play tells the story of the aftermath of a prominent chemist’s suicide and uses the interactions of three people close to him to examine dual-use research and the ethics of science and art.
