This applies to animal research as well. There’s the same ideology, the same thought process that you have to do in your project if you’re going to be involving animals in your research. So it’s not just human participants. So I know a lot of undergraduate students probably for the most part, are doing human research with human participants, but there’s a different sort of set of rules for animals, but the ideology is the same. You still have to treat your animal or your participant in your research in a very ethical and a very high integrity and with great respect. So it’s a sort of a different set of rules, two different things that you may have to follow. But the ideology of that is not just for human participants, it also goes into animals too. So I give speeches and I go in to talk to classrooms with a lot of masters students. And it’s a variety of master students there in social work in education and biology and chemistry and, and people working with bio hazards. There’s ethical concerns in bio hazards and dealing with biohazard applications. So it’s not just human participants, most of them, of research that’s done is in that realm, especially at an undergraduate level at TRU But we do have a lot of animal stuff that happens, lots of stuff, snakes and birds and spiders, and fish, lots of fish and all that kind of stuff. and then biohazard, same thing. You have to be just as careful with biohazard things. You have to have ethical approval of biosafety applications to make sure you’re not, you’re doing everything with it. Maybe it’s just a germ or a Petri dish full of germs. but you still have to be ethical about what you’re dealing with and how you’re treating them and how you how you deal with them all the way around.
