Learning about Inuit heritage, contemporary culture, and colonial legacies in Canada, as an important aspect of pan-Arctic health security
An extraordinary week of fieldwork in the Canadian High North as part of our NORTHERN SHIELD project on global health security in the Arctic—with Gemma Bowsher and Fawzia Fall
Good morning from Yukon 🇨🇦
A privilege to be working with the European Union and @gpwmd.bsky.social @gp-wmdctrdisinfo.bsky.social to bring a training session on #InformationIntegrity and #FIMI to new #1972BWC National Contact Points
Good to engage with #1972BWC national contact points in Geneva today. Thanks to BWC ISU for hosting and the European Union for funding 🇪🇺🇺🇳
New publication🚨Need a big-picture intro to how current trends in the life sciences are challenging traditional #biosafety and #biosecurity governance? Gemma Bowsher and I have got you covered:

Good to engage with @GPWMDofficial partners and @GPctrDisinfo steering group members to strategise on countering #CBRN #disinformation.
Speaking on global trends in biology and what they mean for our security at the G7 @gpwmd.bsky.social meeting in Paris this week
The one-week #1972BWC working group meeting has just gotten underway this morning. Watch it live here:

Biowarfare does not guarantee decisive military advantage but in hybrid era can exploit ambiguity and weaken societies. Are we prepared? My thoughts, ahead of #1972BWC mtg this week in Geneva. inews.co.uk/opinion/fail...
Lovely to host a commemorative seminar for pioneering activist scientist against chemical and #biologicalweapons, Prof Steven Rose, yesterday. Warm thanks to everyone who came for their inspiring tributes and thoughtful reflections.
The @thebulletin.org Doomsday Clock this week said #MirrorLife studies, #AI-enabled pathogen design, #bioweapon risks and fragile health systems raise global #biosecurity concern. Read in full here: thebulletin.org/wp-content/u...
Come ski with me, said @beafihn.bsky.social, and we can talk #Bioweapons and #ArmsControl for the new #SUMMITtalks podcast series. Excited to share our episode with you when it launches this spring.
My new @thebulletin.org piece shows how the @gpwmd.bsky.social @gp-wmdctrdisinfo.bsky.social CBRN #Disinformation Tracker reveals how false narratives move from state institutions into global discourse—and why this matters for arms control and international security.

Metreweli: "In an age of uncertainty, one constant remains: [our] choices...still determine the shape of the world. Yes, technology can illuminate possibilities: but information requires judgement; complexity demands clarity; and only people can decide which path to follow."(3/3)
Metreweli: "...the foundations of trust in our societies are eroding. Information, once a unifying force, is increasingly weaponised. ... as trust collapses, so does our shared sense of truth – one of the greatest losses a society can suffer." (2/3)
An inspiring first speech today from new MI6 head, Blaise Metreweli, on human agency and the choices we make about how to deal with our "new, faster, more dangerous and technology-mediated world" (1/3)

Crucially, what accepted standards can prevent AI in verification from having the opposite effect—eroding confidence and generating mistrust? Where are the limits of AI? 3/3
There were several references to standards. Key take-away for me: Investment is needed to develop international #standards for the use of #AI in #1972BWC #verification. How can we ensure efficient, reliable use? 2/3
US Under Secretary DiNanno opened a timely discussion today at @ungeneva.bsky.social on #AI applications for #1972BWC. The panel outlined ways AI could support #verification and implementation across the treaty’s Articles. Key question for me: how should these applications be prioritised? 1/3
The final report of the 2-year joint @vertic.bsky.social--King's
@warstudieskcl.bsky.social project on observable signs of #bioweapons development is out today

Discussed how #AI #DLT #Robotics #DataAnalytics provide opportunities for stronger implementation and #verification of the #1972BWC at @sipri.org side event today @ungeneva.bsky.social
So pleased to support RSIS_NTU and Asia_CHS colleagues with the launch of two #biosecurity #1972BWC #CBM reports @ungeneva.bsky.social today.
At the launch of the GlobalSynthesisMap.bio platform this morning—enabling you to see where #DNA is synthesized and gets distributed. Bravo @ibbis-bio.bsky.social!
The #1972BWC meeting gets underway this morning, focused on agreeing language of the Working Group final report. You can follow live here: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1p...
Have you got expertise in technology (AI, hypersonic weapons, space-based systems, quantum tech) and its role in war and conflict? Come work with us!

Loved these past two days discussing #UNSGM BW investigations in non-permissive environments. Exceptional group, stunning location (Vienna). Huge thanks @stimsoncenter.bsky.social for convening!
