Quick takes

Read a great blog article on how much biotechnology has developed over the years, the role it plays in global health, and how it might continue to improve our lives. Unsure what the norms are around reposting another's blog (I have no connection to the authors), so I'll simply share the link. "Reasons to Be Grateful for Biotechnology", by Niko McCarty and Avadhoot.

What role do you think bioethics and bioethicists have on biosecurity and AI regulation? I've been thinking a lot about how represented bioethics should be in the two fields and if advocating for their increased involvement would help reduce x-risks. Thoughts?

Hi all, I'm Joseph. I have a double degree in computational biology/statistics, have RA'd in protein engineering (structure/dynamics) and worked in proteomics (LCMS). Currently on an FTX regrant to find ways to help with Biosecurity/AI. I'm focusing on upskilling in AI, but keen to keep discussing biosecurity.

Hello! I'm a bio/ biomedical student / EA Ireland organizer. Am interested in GCBRs, policy and technical responses and the dual-use dilemma.  Just finished running some proto-fellowships on biosecurity.

Hi everyone, I'm a psychology graduate interested in learning about ways for dealing with infohazards especially in online journal publications. As well as what skills and projects are important in Bioethics. 

Is anyone working on AI  and biotech regulation in specific or/ have good readings for the state of the field / existing regulation?

Hello Erika! I am Muhammad Abubakar, third year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student in Pakistan. I have recently performed Isolation and purification of salmonella enterica as a research intern. It would be great to learn from you all, I am interested in this group because it would allow me to broaden my thinking and also participating in these activities enhance my leaning. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards

I am a former student of Philosphy and Physics at Swarthmore College and the University of London who is interested in the ethical issues raised by interdisciplany scholarship in Biology, Engineering and Psychology.  I am a political activist and a journalist, and am more of a Kantian than I am a utilitarian. I am also interested in the role of technology in national security.
