Science, particularly in life sciences and biotechnologies, is continuing to make remarkable progress in the past decade. This has been possible due to the governments and people recognizing that scientific discoveries bring development and prosperity to the nation. The new trend in research is to collaborate across disciplines with large teams of participants across the globe. This has brought success but has led to varying standards in ethics and responsible conduct which require harmonization. Recent discoveries point to a need for new approaches to ethics. The rise in cases of misconduct and retraction of research papers from high-profile individuals has been a cause for concern. It is encouraging that many countries that have detected misconduct in research have instituted strong steps to correct the situation. This brief review discusses the recent developments of interest to me, the issues of global research, ethics and responsible conduct.

科学，尤其是生命科学和生物技术，在过去十年中继续取得显着进展。这之所以成为可能，是因为政府和人民认识到科学发现为国家带来了发展和繁荣。研究的新趋势是与全球大型参与者团队进行跨学科合作。这带来了成功，但也导致了需要协调一致的道德标准和负责任的行为标准。最近的发现表明需要新的伦理方法。不当行为案件的增加和知名人士撤回研究论文的情况令人担忧。令人鼓舞的是，许多在研究中发现不当行为的国家已经采取了强有力的措施来纠正这种情况。
