@ Global Food Partners
I am an independent researcher with a keen interest in biosecurity, pandemic preparedness, global health and development, and farmed animal welfare. My work spans policy advocacy, stakeholder engagement, and project management.
I have experience working on biosecurity and public health-focused projects with organisations like 1Day Sooner and the Alliance for Reducing Microbial Resistance (ARMoR). My work includes policy advocacy for indoor air quality (IAQ) interventions in Singapore and Malaysia to enhance pandemic preparedness and advancing pull incentive policies for antimicrobial development in Nordic countries. I am passionate about exploring evidence-based solutions to global challenges and driving impactful interventions through collaboration.
Thank you so much! :)
Hi, @freedomandutility, thank you so much for your comment!
Re: have not consulted or verified the facts - At the beginning of the project in February 2022, I discussed this with some EAs that have experience dealing with Chinese experts. I was cautioned against approaching them directly because (1) local researchers are generally aware of biosafety but not biosecurity and (2) it isn't easy for an individual, whether based within or outside of China, to access government agencies. Without a deep understanding of cultural nuances and field knowledge, I am not sure if I can effectively convey the biosecurity concept and the intentions of the research. But I agree that verifying things with Chinese experts will improve the write-up tremendously! Hope this clarifies.
