Millett, Kathryn, Dando, Malcolm and Shang, Lijun (2024) Biological security education needs constant and systematic promotion. CBW Magazine: Journal on Chemical and Biological Weapons, 17 (1-2). pp. 28-34. ISSN 0974-0619
A key component of effective management of biological risks is a sustained, flexible, and well-supported approach to the biosecurity education of life scientists. Biological security education is adaptable to particular circumstances and communities worldwide, and diverse actors and stakeholders have increasingly created opportunities to educate life scientists on biosecurity issues. However, such efforts have so far been fragmented, with initiatives varying widely in focus, format, content and scope, and overall biosecurity and dual-use awareness levels remain low among life and associated scientists. In this paper, we reiterate the need for sustained education and awareness-raising of dual-use research issues, discuss previous efforts in educating scientists, and summarise further thinking on how to move forward.
