What's the 101 Series?
It's the guides I wish existed when I started exploring various subjects, written with help from some of my favourite guest authors.

Could drug-free nasal sprays or inhalables meaningfully reduce respiratory infection risk, and become a useful complement to PPE
Maximilian Görlitz (@max_goerlitz) and Sofya Lebedeva (@sofya_leb) are co-mentoring Pivotal fellows to evaluate airway infection blockers as a biodefense bet.
Meet Our Mentors ↑
Apply by June 7th: fellowship.bio
Fully funded (£6-8k stipend), 9 weeks in London (+ up to 2-month extension), working with senior researchers in biodefense.

Wet Lab 101 - Part 1
Part one of the Wet Lab 101 posts that I co-wrote with @JoDuyvestyn! If you are new to the lab and want to get an overview of the different techniques, start here. Ideal for those starting #undergrad or switching to #Biosecurity.

It's been a while! I'll be sharing some of the posts from my blog: Molecular Meditations.
Starting with bioinformatics 101

Seen the recent Mirror Life publication in Science? You might be wondering if a ban is feasible. In our recent article Garrett Ehinger and I discuss whether a ban on #mirrorlife is feasible and what alternatives for containment are available instead.

🧵[1/n] Ever wanted to explore the estimated #ROI for pull incentive policies at a country level in all G7 and EU members, as well as for other select high-income countries?
Building on work from the @CGDev & @OHENews, we're excited to share the report - lnkd.in/eq8JgqnZ
🧵[2/n] This report is based on the original work by @rachelbnfield! We're very excited to have extended it.
🧵[3/n] We have a report, dashboard and explainer video. You can check them all out below.

I liked this course and working with @JustinBullock14!
AI-Driven Solutions for Localized Production and Global Challenges. The third place world is FloraTech: a world where AI and humanity co-evolve to create a society centered on collective flourishing. Congratulations to @JustinBullock14, @sofya_leb, and Kirill Popov!
Another fun podcast! If you're curious how to get started in biosecurity - give it a listen
How can young #scientists engage in #biosecurity? Learn more from @sofya_leb in this podcast episode, interviewed by host @trondau with takeaways from a @StanfordCISAC 2023 conference and proceedings on existential risk. Web: futurized.org/biosecurity-ac…

As part of my series interviewing women working in mitigating risks from emerging technologies, I spoke to
@sofya_leb about forging a career path in biosecurity, ambition, entrepreneurship & skill-building. Read the full thing: lnkd.in/eSd_XTA6 🔥
Looking for people to chat about #Immunology fundamentals with. Preferably #MSc or #PhD students but open to anyone. Please DM me. If you know anyone like this, please share this with them. Thanks!

@UniofOxford friends!! Don't miss the chance to learn from @sofya_leb and work on projects like Antimicrobial Resistance #AMR Modeling and Pathogen-Agnostic Surveillance
New opportunity to work part-time on concrete biosecurity projects!
Ideas include pathogen-agnostic surveillance, germicidal UV, and rapid point-of-care tests. Projects run for 7 weeks, 5-10 hr/week commitment, teams of 2-5 people, remote-friendly.

Cleaning out & transferring my newsletters to a new email. What is the best biology, business or productivity newsletter that you currently read? Thank you in advance.
Not me lugging around a carry on which consists of books, notebooks, workout supplements and painting supplies, through a fourth country in the last three weeks. If this isn’t my personality in a nut shell then I’m not sure what is.
