Thanks for sharing—it looks like a comprehensive introduction to biosecurity and I’ve left a couple of suggestions on the doc.
It’s possible that you were already planning on doing this, but seeing how the discussions are organised around technical and governance issues, I suggest having considerations about policy obstacles included when discussing technical biosecurity issues e.g. what are the policy bottlenecks behind far UVC adoption or developing effective wastewater monitoring systems? I think it’ll be a good exercise to consider these especially for a STEM audience.
Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss more about the syllabus, and all the best with the discussions!
Thanks for the comments! I’ve updated the syllabus according to the ones you left this morning.
Regarding policy obstacles for technical issues, I think this is a good thing to focus on. I’ve included some of that in my separate list of discussion points, but it would be good to look into that more.
