[Via FCW’s Blogs] I see that the Federation of American Scientists has set up the Biosecurity & Biodefense Organizations Resource, “an internet resource for biosecurity policy, bioterrorism information, and biodefense research. The organizations listed here represent various perspectives on what actions individual scientists, research institutions, science journals, the public, and government can do to minimize the threat of bioterrorism while maximizing the benefits of life science research.” This includes a map of all existing and planned BSL‑4 facilities in the US. A fantastic resource for anyone interested in this topic!
