Short summary
Ethical issues in science include research misconduct and the rightful treatment of people, animals, the environment and our planet. Based on interviews with 13 scientists, we identify a framework of virtues, and corresponding vices, in modern science. We employ the narrative structure of the late medieval poem The Divine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri, and draw on its moral universe to explore the scientific virtues and the role of virtue ethics in science.
