Sad I could only watch the @nationalacademies.org ”BWC at 50” event overseas online, but it was worth every bit of data on my phone! The conversation was rich, and an extra shout-out to @scientistsorg.bsky.social CEO Daniel Correa for his leadership and ambition in his remarks and responses.

This man (Sahil V. Shah) is a BOSS, and we are so lucky to have him reimagining nuclear risk reduction in an era of strategic instability. Read his most recent report with other incredible experts such as Nikolai Sokov, David Santoro, and Miles Pomper. vcdnp.org/wp-content/u...

Other random musings. Technical solutions are a great part of the toolbox for addressing deliberate bio risks. That said, intent is also exceptionally important - if you don't have a motive to do something, why would you do it! How do we right-size the status quo to better reflect this dynamic?

I'm a bio-WMD-emerging tech security guy. What bothers me is the narrative of emerging tech as inherently disruptive. Why do we treat these technologies as exogenous shocks that society must absorb and adapt to, as opposed to endogenous growth that society can discuss, consider, and curate?
