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.

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.

[Sofya Lebedeva @sofya_leb]

🧵[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 - https://t.co/x9r02SzR8s

[Sofya Lebedeva @sofya_leb]

🧵[2/n] This report is based on the original work by @rachelbnfield! We're very excited to have extended it.

Another fun podcast! If you're curious how to get started in biosecurity - give it a listen

[Futurized @Futurized2]

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: https://t.co/MzuDaq5Ulj

[Katie Glass @miss_glassy]

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: https://t.co/nSDy4dWuHh 🔥

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!

[Futurist Trond Arne Undheim @trondau]

@StanfordCISAC just published a story on the #existentialrisk #proceedings from Stanford Existential Risks Initative (SERI)'s conference last year. @Demos @ALLFEDALLIANCE @FSIStanford @xriskology @I_are @sofya_leb https://t.co/b8ziPBPdIU
