Bioterrorism is the deliberate release of biological agents used to cause illness or death in people, animals, or plants. In this age of information and biotechnology, the potential to develop a bioterror agent is more possible than ever. UCSC Biomolecular Engineering Professor Rebecca DuBois will discuss the history and current threats of bioterrorism. She will also discuss the ethical considerations of studying and publishing information on potential bioterror agents.
A new "science cafe" is starting up in Santa Cruz, designed to connect the Santa Cruz community to the latest research happening at UC Santa Cruz. Science on Tap, held monthly at the Crepe Place in Santa Cruz, features scientists from UCSC who will present their work and engage in discussions with the audience in a relaxed setting. The informal talks are aimed at a general audience, including nonscientists and people not affiliated with UCSC.
