An interview with Dr. Robert Speth of the NSU College of Pharmacy, talking about the teaching and practice of ethics. Why the weird title then? Two reasons: 1. Dr. Speth is engaged in a "war on 'and'" as a way to improve his writing (polysyndeton is the excessive use of conjunctions like "and"), and 2. The title serves as an example of how writers sometimes sensationalize science, unethically focusing on issues unrelated to the text's or individual's main message (which in this case is about the duty of professionals to communicate ethically with the public). Learn more about Dr. Speth.
