George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

Facing IRB Challenges Together Workshop
Today is the biennial Indiana University Institutional Review Board Workshop. Present are several of the Bloomington IRB members and representatives from all of the regional campuses.
Among the sessions we have had are a review of the nuts and bolts of the regulations, moving beyond the regulations - particularly looking at vulnerable populations and consent issues, and we have also had a demonstration of the IU Electronic Research Administration System that is currently under development.
One of the most interesting sessions for me was the Case Study discussion. We were divided into small groups and each group was asked to focus on a different case study. My group's study was an internet research related scenario. The case raises many interesting issues that we face in doing internet research. For example - what is public and private online, how can confidentiality be maintained when the research's audience can search online to match participants with online data, at what point in the research should participants be reconsented to allow the researcher to use online data alongside face-to-face data, and should the specific website used to gather data be listed in the publication of the research? It's a very good case that I will be using in my teaching. I'm told that the cases will be available online in the near future at the Association of Practical and Research Ethics site.
