Produktbeschreibung
Biological risks are a global threat to humanity and therefore transformative practices are needed to minimize both biosafety and biosecurity risks. The recent devastation triggered by the highly infectious COVID-19 disease highlights elevated threats to human survival. Immediate measures must be designed to reduce the impact of future threats of more highly infectious diseases. The race to innovate risk mitigation and enhance a united global capability to avert and respond to high-consequence adverse biological events is extremely urgent. Universities are at the heart of training and capacity building of life scientists who remain the key cogs in the wheel of biorisk assessments, biorisk mitigation, and biorisk performance measurements. Life scientists' biorisk perceptions, knowledge, and awareness are fundamental determinants of university biorisk management levels, general health and overall global security. This book illuminates trailblazing studies and heralds a new dawn in the understanding of the predictive value of biorisk perceptions, knowledge, and awareness on biorisk management levels. It is a 'must-have', 'must-read' book for everyone in academia, policy, and practice.
