White House seeks input on tightening rules for risky pathogen research
#NSABB recommended expanding the reviews beyond 15 “select agents” to cover proposals to study any human, animal, or plant pathogen in seven types of experiments. One scientist has called this “a potential for disaster” that would require reviews of routine, relatively low-risk studies, such as certain experiments on cold viruses and viruses modified to fight cancer. #biosecurity #GOF #OSTP

The fact that some theoretical potential to create a novel threat exists is not the only or even the most important factor in assessing the risk that the postulated novel threat will be created. Focusing attention primarily on what "could" happen skews the assessment and leads to being more receptive to invalid assumptions (e.g., "a high schooler could do this in their garage" applies to things like making E. coli glow, but not to advanced virology). #TWiV #virology #GOF #NSABB

TWiV 981: Tastes like chikungunya
Great TWiV covers the regulations surrounding dual use / gain-of-function research. I was very involved in the IC's discussion of these issues since the mid-2000s. Over time I developed exactly the same thoughts as the TWiV team about excessive alarmism and a vocal minority pushing to essentially ban all work. I found the same in certain IC agencies which eagerly made hay out of potential threats.

And we can have that prosecution if we invite the International Criminal Court to take jurisdiction. No immunity, no statute of limitations, pardons don't count.

Anybody read the old Lensman series by e.e. "Doc" Smith? I just downloaded the whole thing to my Kindle via Internet Archive. My first foray into the Internet Archive, actually. My older brother was really into the series when he was a teen, this was tbh long before most of y'all were born...this was also before I got into scifi. But some of those old classics hold up. #books #scifi #Lensman

@Nonya_Bidniss I’m an expert in the #science of #chemistry , but a follower of #histodons.
My grandfather, who had a #Prussian grandmother, gave me 500,000 #German marks in now worthless ‘Reichsbanknote’. 👀 ⬇️
Does that answer your question about “What happens to regular people’s money when #fascism takes over?” #USpol #economics #DismalScience

@Nonya_Bidniss
Thanks! Good to hear from someone who has used one! 😁The article mentioned field research:
"And it's not just for amateurs. Some 1,400 research papers have referenced the Foldscope.
Karthik Balasubramaniam, a scientist at the Agharkar Research Institute at Pune, says the Foldscope has helped make his fieldwork easier. He studies a microscopic kind of algae, collecting water samples from across the country to assess biodiversity and pollution."
