SUMMARY:FBI Biosecurity Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The FBI WMD Directorate will host a 4-Hour Biosecurity Workshop on 23 Oct 2019 at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs\, NY. \nThe event is designed to improve cooperation among law enforcement agencies and research institutions to mitigate potential biosecurity issues that may affect public health and safety. \nThe objectives are to: \n1) Identify biosecurity roles and responsibilities of law enforcement agencies\n2) Identify biosecurity roles and responsibilities of research institutions\n3) Identify benefits and potential obstacles to improve cooperation among law enforcement agencies and research institutions regarding biosecurity\n4) Identify methods of improving communications among biosecurity stakeholders \nBiosecurity includes a range of topics that require the collaboration and coordination of a diverse set of stakeholders. The range of topics discussed in this workshop includes international and domestic terrorism\, cyber security\, protection of intellectual property/proprietary information\, dual-use research\, workplace violence\, security challenges with the rapid advances in research and technology innovations\, and insider-threat mitigation. \nRelationships between the scientific and security communities must be built on trust and understanding in order to develop effective\, sensible mitigation strategies\, communication pathways\, and policies to meet these challenges. \nThe audience for this course includes VP of Research (Institution Official)\, Responsible Officials\, Biosafety Officials\, Environmental health and safety officials\, Primary Investigators/research directors\, Laboratory Supervisors/ managers\, Campus Police Department\, State and Local Police Departments\, Emergency Fire responders (to include HazMat)\, State/Local public health\, Office of Emergency Management\, Institution Human Resources Department\, Institution Cyber/IT Department\, Institution Office of General Counsel (Legal Department)\, and Public Information Officials. \nYou must be a US citizen or have prior approval to take this course. The FBI reserves the right to determine eligibility for this course. The scope\, concept\, and content of this course were developed by the FBI. \nTo register for this Workshop\, please contact FBI Operational Support Specialist (OST) Vincent Soldani directly at vsoldaniiii@fbi.gov \nPoint of Contact regarding this training is Weapons of Mass Destruction Coordinator\, Thomas Stewart: \nThomas Stewart\nWMD Coordinator\nFBI\, Albany Division\n200 McCarty Ave\nAlbany\, NY 12209\ntstewart2@fbi.gov\n(518) 281-2239

SUMMARY:October Bagels and Bio/Chem Defense
DESCRIPTION:Another session of Bagels and Bio/Chem Defense will be held on Friday\, October 25th at the National Academies Keck Center (500 Fifth Street NW\, Washington DC). \nThis month will be an expanded session (from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.) focused on qualitative frameworks that could provide the basis for structured expert discussions of the potential security concerns posed by emerging technologies in the life sciences. \nIn August the National Academies and the InterAcademy Partnership organized a one-day workshop during the BWC Meeting of Experts to give a small international group of people attending the sessions the opportunity to pilot test how two such frameworks might be applied to BWC-relevant case examples. This month’s session will feature a scaled-down version of the exercise. \nParticipants will have the opportunity to work in small groups to apply either the framework from the 2018 National Academies report\, Biodefense in the Age of Synthetic Biology or the technology assessment portion of the framework from Jonathan Tucker’s 2012 project on Innovation\, Dual Use\, and Security. \nThis event is part of the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine’s discussion series on biological and chemical defense and security issues. It is free and open to the public\, but you must register in advance. Bagels and beverages will be provided to attendees.
