“It is increasingly unrealistic to base a biosafety system primarily on lists of known concerns and standardized practices,” write @melsalm & @SAWEvans in response to @davidrgillum’s essay in ISSUES. issues.org/training-more-bio…
Video of plenary panel I joined for #cugh2023 recently uploaded. Watch me reimagine global health, critical med anthro style.
