Speaker's Bureau

The Center for Ethics in Science and Technology has identified regional experts from the scientific, religious, business, and civic communities who are willing to speak in public forums on important and controversial issues in science and technology. More than 25 scientists and scholars have agreed to participate in this valuable Ethics Center resource. These experts represent a broad spectrum of local universities, research institutes, and public agencies, and they offer expertise in a number of important areas of science and technology. Topics of possible interest to the public include: bioethics, business ethics, character development, genetic testing and enhancement, research ethics, ethics of computational and computer science, stem cell ethics, neuroethics, and decision-making at both the beginning and at the end of life.

Although the Ethics Center is happy to serve as a resource in providing the names of these experts, it should be noted that they are not intended to be representatives of a position or view of the Center for Ethics in Science and Technology. The goal of the Center is only to provide access to thoughtful experts in the community, regardless of whether those individuals favor or oppose a particular position.
