This fall, the Bioethics Department of the Lewis School of Health Science launched its new undergraduate bioethics minor at Clarkson. A National Endowment for the Humanities Connections grant supported the development of the minor and is sponsoring a speaker series to celebrate. The first speaker in the fall series, Mildred Z. Solomon EdD will present a talk entitled, “Scientists, Engineers and Bioethicists: Working Together for the Public Good.” Dr. Solomon is President Emeritus of The Hastings Center, the nation’s founding bioethics research institute, where she served as president for 11 years from 2012 to 2023. She is also Professor (part-time) of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School, where she runs a Fellowship in Bioethics and has trained over 220 scientists, physicians and other kinds of professionals from across the United States and around the world. Dr. Solomon’s own research covers a broad spectrum of topics — including, for example, the ethics of end-of-life care, organ transplantation, medical professionalism, and responsible conduct of research. She consults to government agencies and foundations and is frequently cited in the mainstream media, including the The New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, National Public Radio, New York Review of Books, The Daily Beast, Forbes, Science News, The Scientist and other outlets. Dr. Solomon holds a B.A from Smith College and a doctorate in educational research methods from Harvard University.
