READ FULL ARTICLE

Summary

A study of the 2011 controversy surrounding publication of Ron Fouchier and Yoshihiro Kawaoka's H5N1 avian influenza experiments reveals that U.S. intelligence analysts do not have adequate resources to evaluate dual-use scientific experiments, or to navigate the politics that characterize the use of technical expertise in biosecurity issues.

The author has written a policy brief based on this article, "Better Threat Assessments Needed on Dual-Use Science."
