BioDefense
Are we prepared for a biological weapons attack? How does a biological weapon differ from other weapons of mass destruction? In what form would a potential attack appear? What would be the objective of a biological-weapon attack? Is preparation mainly a scientific or a societal issue? What can we do to prevent and prepare for a biological-weapon attack? The speaker will share his experience of traveling to inspect the formerly secret virus laboratory, Vector, in Siberia.
