This is a link post for the Biosecurity Fundamentals Curriculum
Core:
Germ Warfare: A Very Graphic History (20 mins)
Optional:
Biotechnology Research in an Age of Terrorism US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2004. (Recommended by Gregory Lewis as comprehensive and valuable for US context, despite being a bit dated.)
Journal of Conflict Resolution: Poor Manβs Atomic Bomb
A century of biological-weapons programs (1915β2015): reviewing the evidence, W. Seth Carus, The Nonproliferation Review, November 2017.
Aum Shinrikyo: Insights into how terrorists develop biological and chemical weapons, Hidemi Yuki et al., Center for a New American Security, July 2011. (Strongly recommend for an inside look at the functioning of a near-omnicidal organisation based on interviews with people near the top.)
