Summary
The Leadership in the Equitable and Ethical Design (LEED) of Science, Technology, Mathematics, and Medicine (STEM) initiative promotes ethical practices. It aims to develop best practices for integrating ethics and fostering equitable collaboration in STEM research.
Area of Science:
- Science, Technology, Mathematics, and Medicine (STEM) research
Background:
- Trustworthy scientific research necessitates a strong focus on ethics, equity, and inclusion.
- Current research practices often lack robust frameworks for ethical integration and equitable collaboration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce the Leadership in the Equitable and Ethical Design (LEED) of STEM initiative.
- To establish best practices for embedding ethical expertise within STEM research.
- To promote equitable collaboration in STEM fields.
Main Methods:
- The LEED initiative will focus on developing and disseminating best practices.

03:37Uncertainty in Measurement: Accuracy and Precision
74.3K
Scientists typically make repeated measurements of a quantity to ensure the quality of their findings and to evaluate both the precision and the accuracy of their results. Measurements are said to be precise if they yield very similar results when repeated in the same manner. A measurement is considered accurate if it yields a result that is very close to the true or the accepted value. Precise values agree with each other; accurate values agree with a true value.

The American Nurses Association (ANA) created and implemented the first nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.
