Bioterror in the 21st Century:

Bioterror in the 21st Century: Emerging Threats in a New Global Environment Thursday, 21 January; 12 noon – 1 pm The use of bio-threats has been evolving since the first infected corpse was hurled over a castle wall. Although the 2001 anthrax attacks were far more sophisticated, the objective was the same—death and terror—and with each new advance in the field of biotechnology, bioterrorists gain rich new striking capabilities. Daniel M. Gerstein, author of Bioterror in the 21st Century, provides a global perspective on bioterror today, from emerging trends to threat assessment and mitigation. He draws upon his study of biodefense and his background as a retired U.S. Army colonel who has served worldwide with organizations involved in homeland security, combat, peacekeeping, and humanitarian assistance operations to discuss the framework in which dangerous capabilities are allowed to proliferate.
