We want everyone to be comfortable asking and responding to questions. We want the ABSA International Howspace platform to remain a positive and accessible resource to the biosafety and biosecurity community. Any questions related to biosecurity and biosafety are welcome. Please be aware that the participants on the list will range from newer biosafety/biosecurity professionals to expert biosafety/biosecurity professionals.
