CENSA Members, I would like to extend an invitation to you for our upcoming conversation with Dr. Josephine Wolff on Monday June 14th at 11:30 AM Eastern.  Dr. Wolff is an assistant professor of cybersecurity policy at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.  In our conversation, we will be discussing a variety of pressing cybersecurity issues from ransomware incidents to major data breaches - including lessons learned from the SolarWinds, Colonial Pipeline, and Constant Contact cyberattacks and what policymakers can do to avert future attacks. Dr. Wolff is the author of You'll See This Message When It Is Too Late: The Legal and Economic Aftermath of Cybersecurity Breaches, published by MIT Press in 2018. Her writing on cybersecurity has also appeared in Slate, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and Wired. Prior to joining Fletcher, she was an assistant professor of public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology and a fellow at the New America Cybersecurity Initiative and Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. Please RSVP here (attendance limited to first 100 responses). Respectfully, Armen Melikian Executive Director

Join us Wednesday, June 9 and Monday, June 14 from 12:30-3:00pm CDT for the opportunity to participate in protocol review, facilities planning, and any other risk assessment activities, but are unsure as to the actual nature of the disease risks of microbiological agents. Biological safety and risk assessment will not be covered in this course. The proposed topics will cover infectious agents, virulence factors, pathogenicities, host-microbe interactions, susceptibility, modes of transmission, and the changes seen in the microbial world. If you don’t know the difference between a TCID50, PFU, or ID50; or why HBV is stable in dried blood and HIV is not; or why influenza is an inhalation hazard; or why public health officials advocate flu shots each year—then this course is for you.
