Meeting the Challenge of Conflicts of Interest

It is understood that academia and industry both have essential roles in bringing new and improved clinical products to the public. However, it is also generally agreed that academic-industry collaborations are tarnished by both real and perceived consequences of financial conflicts of interest. The first program in the Meeting the Challenge of Conflicts of Interest series from the Center for Ethics in Science and Technology brings together Dr. Gary Firestein of UC San Diego and Dr. Jeremy Barton of Pfizer for a clarifying conversation about this important challenge to medical research.

It Came from Riverside: Inside the World’s Largest Collection of Science Fiction & Fantasy

Just in time for Comic-Con…Imagine a place where everything science fiction — manuscripts, fanzines, first editions, posters and more — was carefully collected, preserved and made accessible to the public. Actually, you don’t have to imagine it because it exists on the UC Riverside campus in the form of the Eaton Collection, the world’s largest, publicly accessible collection of sci-fi, fantasy, horror and utopian fiction.

If this gets your geek flag a-flutterin’, then don’t miss the UCTV Prime original series “It Came from Riverside," which ventures inside the collection for a peek at some of its treasures and conversations with writers and professors with some intriguing thoughts on science fiction’s growing acceptance in academia.

"It Came from Riverside: Inside the World’s Largest Collection of Science Fiction & Fantasy" premieres July 6, with new episodes on July 10 and 13!
