What is a Professional?
Trust is a funny thing …
How do you gain it and keep it and how do others verify you are trustworthy?
Trust of others affects promotion, earning and grants
Can you trust yourself? Would an ethical code and framework help? Because science can have consequences for
public health and safety, the public need a means of assuring themselves that scientists are, collectively and individually, trustworthy.
The planet needs scientists to help make life comfortable for all as well as sustainable. The need is urgent and science must be done well and ethically to safeguard all our futures.
Doctors, Nurses and Midwives must be registered and regulated but not scientists, even those working in the same hospitals?

Conflict of Interest or Loyalty
Lack of Ethical consideration. Creation of unmitigated Risk
