Until now, there has been no organization solely dedicated to safeguarding the tools of modern bioscience and biotechnology from deliberate or accidental misuse. That's why NTI | bio worked with international partners to establish IBBIS. https://t.co/x4OfDRyg17

I cannot argue against, “oversight failed”. I encourage communities to stay engaged. Policy makers must listen to all stakeholders. If not banned, oversight must be strengthened. The stakes are high. My thanks to Biosafety Now for bringing public attention to the ePPP debate.
