SMP 2/10/07 | Weapons of Mass Destruction: Biological Weapons | Speaker: Phil Hanna

Saturday, February 10, 2007
12:00 AM
170 & 182 Dennison Building

Speaker: Phil Hanna, Associate Professor (U-M Microbiology and Immunology)

The impact of infectious agents has influenced societies and affected the lives of every generation for all of human history. That some of these microbial agents now might be used, deliberately, as weapons of terror shocks sensibilities and challenges researchers and governments to develop new policies and build practical countermeasures. We will cover the nature and medicine of bioterror agents, their history and social impact and discuss some current thinking surrounding our desires to live safely in a world where germs might be used as weapons.

Detailed Information
