The APS Task Force on Ethics Education was formed in 2004, in response to several high-profile cases of ethics violations among physicists. Its charge was to advise APS on how it can best encourage physics departments to do a better job of educating their students, postdocs, and faculty about scientific ethics; to investigate what materials are available for ethics education; and to develop materials or adapt existing materials to aid physics departments in their efforts.
