What's In Your Dose?
Pandemic responses require robust technical tools such as molecular diagnostic tests, novel immunization reagents, and recovery surveillance tools. Pandemic responses depend on public trust in these tools and their good faith deployment. Verification strategies to enhance public trust and cooperation will improve the performance of molecular tools in future pandemics.

Dark winter: why the risk of unnatural pandemics is an existential threat
The past history of pandemics and biological attacks, lab accidents and epidemics show a recurrent theme of denial, silence and cover-up around unnatural epidemics and the powerful vested interests at play. Quantum advances in genetic engineering and synthetic biology may lead to a future where resurrection of extinct viruses are the norm. The risk of unnatural pandemics is greater than ever and poses an existential threat. Early warnings of epidemics through OSINT can help mitigate the risk.

Going from Alzheimer's to Pandemics: Bringing FLOSS to Bio Testing
Varro has developed a unique semiconductor-based biosensor platform that detects pathogens in human breath and indoor air with significant improvements in speed, sensitivity, and cost over existing technologies. The platform will be offered via open source to expand its reach and accessibility. We will discuss the core technology and how it can be used to prevent the spread of disease and new pandemics around the world.
