no fieldbuilding programs exclusively dedicated to biosecurity
Minor, but in case you aren’t aware, the Cambridge Biosecurity Hub is a fieldbuilding program exclusively dedicated to biosecurity (they are running the AI x Bio stream at ERA, helped start a bio stream at SPAR, and are running their annual conference in a few weeks in Cambridge UK). I think it’s funded by CG’s Biosec team, but it may be funded by your team (the Biosec team is at least aware of them). People interested in making more stuff happen in this space should consider reaching out to them!
In any case, I’m also excited about more biosecurity fieldbuilding work happening and agree that it’s been extremely neglected for a long time—thanks for writing this!
That’s us! Thanks Caleb, you’re right that CBH helped start the AIxBio stream at ERA, bio stream at SPAR and I’m also talking with CBAI and a few other project based fellowships.
We’re making a lot of effort to coordinate the current field builders and to get more people involved (meetings, slack, coordination docs). If anyone wants to be involved in the larger bio community building conversations or chat about fieldbuilding please have a low bar to reach out to me—grace@cambiohub.org. I being involved in biosecurity community building part-time for 2-3 years and have been full time around 5 months so would love to chat about my experience if it’s helpful.

Thank you, great point! My mistake.
