Welcome to the second edition of the CiS magazine. This time we chose ethics as the theme, and have interpreted it pretty broadly - looking at ethics in the lab, at biomedical issues, the environment, and sharing of resources globally.

We have to thank our team of writers, mainly students, who have again submitted a great range of articles and reviews, as well as those who responded to some gentle arm twisting. We would also like to thank Larissa Johnston, who helped with the editing.

We hope you enjoy it!

Ruth Bancewicz, Editor
Bekki Pearce, Assistant Editor
