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!
Really glad to see this initiative, thanks for putting it together and sharing it here. It’s great to have more efforts focused on making new research and policy ideas in this space more accessible.
My colleague @Shrestha R and I have also been working on a related resource: List of AI x Biosecurity Resources. Since our goals are very similar, I’d much rather see efforts combined than duplicated. If it makes sense, I’d be glad to explore ways our work could feed into yours: whether that’s sharing what we’ve collected so far or pointing people towards your site going forward.
Looking forward to seeing how this develops, and happy to connect if it’s useful.
