Launch a biosecurity group on your campus
I want to flag some work that’s been going on to help with this. Big +1 that we need a lot more biosecurity fieldbuilding that encourages individuals to GM a particular topic/focus area.
Research programs such as Impact Research Groups (London), Research Impact Oxford (Oxford), Cambridge Impact Research Program (Cambridge), Harvard-MIT Impact Research Initiative (Boston), Catalyst (UC Berkeley, UChicago, Purdue), all have dedicated biosecurity tracks and are vaguely managed under the CEA Pilot Unis team.
There now exists a community/field-building page on the Biosecurity Hub Slack. If anyone is keen to join, feel free to let me know! I’m very much excited about global, large-scale, MATS-like, biosecurity fieldbuilding and would be keen to hear from potential collaborators.
Happy to chat about any of this: ayushmaan.sharma@dph.ox.ac.uk
