I’ve avoided remarking on the Russia Irkutsk death given the murky information. Under IHR verification, Russia has told WHO it is not plague but has not confirmed the pathogen. The released just now by WHO DG Tedros reinforces my view that this is an increasingly concerning situation.

A breath of fresh air: @saskiapopescu.bsky.social writes about the specific threats of bioweapons AND POLICIES TO REDUCE RISK. A very real threat is distraction. Best thing I've read on this topic. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Since we’re doing another round of “AI will destroy humanity” doom-hype, it’s a good time to announce a new paper myself and my postdoc advisor just had accepted by BioSocieties on just this. TL;DR: almost all the “AI can make bioweapons” literature comes ultimately from the Effective Altruists.

Why is NIH doing this? A senior official told Nature: “When the public hears that NIAID funds biodefence, they think we’re developing bioweapons, and we’re trying to get out of that business. We’re trying to get research that’s more Department of War-related back to Department of War.”
