Abstract: The practice of biological science has changed dramatically since
mid-century, reshaped not only by a rapid series of landmark discoveries,
but also by governmental directives, institutional policies, and public
attitudes. Until 1964, the major influences
were the mentor, who provided direction and indoctrination into
the culture of science, and in dentistry, the newly established NIDR,
which fueled the research engine with an expanding research and training
program. The 1965-74 period witnessed the advent of the Institutional Review
Board, an increased social involvement of biological scientists, and a
recognition of the need for biological and physical safeguards in the
conduct of research. The most turbulent years were 1975-89, when there was a
confluence of animal rights activism and regulation, growing concerns
with scientific fraud and publication malpractice, and the stresses
and strains (and opportunities) resulting from the rapid expansion of the
academic-industrial complex.
The current period is characterized by rapid pace, high volume, and an
increased depth and breadth of knowledge-a major change in scale in the
conduct of science. It is an exciting time but one in which ethical issues
are multiplying. Attention must be paid.
