What's an IRB?

Back in the mid-1900s, people got worried about some research going on that wasn't playing by the rules and wasn't treating folks in studies properly. So, they came up with these things called Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). These boards are like the guardians of ethical research—they check out studies with human participants to make sure everyone's treated fairly and kept safe. The whole idea took off, especially after a not-so-great study called the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. Nowadays, IRBs are like the superheroes of research ethics, making sure studies are done the right way.
