Are We Going Accidentally Dramatise or Victims Through Our Research?

This week, we're bringing the PhD's Guide series back to cover research ethics! Nowadays, researchers must carefully balance the potential knowledge a study can collect with the potential harm it may cause to the people participating in studies.

Tune in to learn more, and check out our website (thesocialbreakdown.com) to read about the various studies we discussed in the episode.
