Could the 1977 H1N1 influenza pandemic stem from an unnatural event? Kalyar et al. believe so, based on their study of the event and their analysis using a modified Grunow-Finke tool (for the original description of the tool, check the following link: https://lnkd.in/eyEzucqK). The article poses some pertinent questions and is a good base for further discussions on the subject and, possibly, similar events. #SBNet #swissbiosafety #pandemics https://lnkd.in/eVjp2JhR

Interesting article by Miller et al. who looked at countering misinformation (particularly vaccine misinformation) and develop a training curriculum aimed at healthcare workers to raise awareness and equip them with the tools to counter misinformation. This may also be of value to the biosafety community. #swissbiosafety #SBNet #vaccines #misinformation #counteringmisinformation https://lnkd.in/eJcZTt8z

A thought provoking article by Shin-etsu Sugawara in Risk Analysis on the use of setting safety goals. Even though he looks at the nuclear industry, the thoughts are just as pertinent for biorisk management. #swissbiosafety #SBNet #safetygoals https://lnkd.in/e7Jdnqip

Interesting article by Baker et al. who experimentally reproduced infection with H5N1 in heifers and lactating cows. #swissbiosafety #SBNet #H5N1 https://lnkd.in/ez2pzj7t
