🌍 Urgent Call for Global Collaboration in Biosecurity Education

 A groundbreaking paper in Applied Biosafety reveals critical gaps in CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) security education—despite decades of international treaties like the Biological Weapons Convention (1975) and Chemical Weapons Convention (1997).

🔬 Key Challenges:

⚠️ Rising threats from dual-use research (DURC)
⚠️ Weak compliance monitoring & slow global coordination
⚠️ Political & linguistic barriers hindering biosecurity awareness

🚀 The Solution?

Introducing IBSEN (International Biological Security Education Network) – a proposed global framework to:
✅ Standardize biosecurity education
✅ Develop multilingual teaching tools
✅ Foster cross-border collaboration

"A unified approach is vital to counter evolving CBRN threats." — Applied Biosafety

Why This Matters Now:

🌐 Malicious use of bio/chemical research is growing
🔐 Prevention starts with education & international cooperation
