A weekly virtual journal club run by the Global Health Security Fund and BioPREVAIL. Each Friday, one article on biosafety, biosecurity or biorisk management is presented and discussed by professionals from around the world, with a strong focus on low- and middle-income countries.
A speaker presents one article, using slides, a roundtable or another format.
Analysis, comments and questions from everyone in the session.
The next article is shared on the Friday after each session, so you have a week to read it.
Applied Biosafety, the journal of ABSA International, and other highly rated journals.
Biosafety, biosecurity, biorisk management, and risk assessment for preparing for, detecting, responding to and recovering from emerging infectious diseases.
Mostly Spanish, with slides and closed captions in English. Some sessions are in English with Spanish captions, and Portuguese and French are used too. Simultaneous translation into English and Spanish is available on Zoom.
You can join as a participant or present an article as a speaker.
