whether or not a phenomenon we are
interested in actually exists
independently of our knowing and

What is Ethics?
For A Moment … Shift to another file
From Gundula Bosch (John Hopkins University,
Baltimore, Maryland):
“… the need to put philosophy back into the
doctorate of philosophy: that is, the ‘Ph’ back
into the PhD… which means that our students
learn to apply rigor to their design and conduct
of experiments; view their work through the
lens of social responsibility; and to think
critically, communicate better, and thus improve
reproducibility.”
From Gundula Bosch (John Hopkins University,
Baltimore, Maryland):
“Train PhD students to be thinkers not
just specialists.”
