Here is a quick summary:
1) Coordinate investment in key R&D areas to further societal goals
2)Foster a biological data ecosystem, while adhering to principles of security, privacy, and responsible conduct of research

2)Foster a biological data ecosystem, while adhering to principles of security, privacy, and responsible conduct of research
3) Expand domestic #biomanufacturing production capacity and processes, including #piloting and #prototyping efforts to accelerate the translation of basic research results into practice
4) Boost #sustainable #biomass production

One of the most important topics of the 2020s. 1/4👇#EUFoodSafety #EUFarm2Fork
1. Similar problems as in IT: opensource vs proprietary. Economic dependencies can very quickly become nasty. Just take a look at Global Tech today #codeiscode #opensource 2/4
2. Should #newGMOs be introduced, a key factor will be: which code is executed and which is not? Code for pesticide resistance better not! Other codes, on the other hand, can promote #biodiversity (e.g., water-, land-consumption) 3/4

Here's a neatly threaded "oh fuck no" of my response to the @nymag's cover story of irresponsibility, asking "but what if" nCov2019 really was a lab escape.

Could #COVID19 Have Escaped from a Lab? bostonmagazine.com/news/2020/09/0… Is the way this question is being dealt with science or censorship?
There’s long been a sense that if the public and politicians really knew about the dangerous pathogen research being conducted in many labs, they’d be outraged. Denying the possibility of a catastrophic incident like this, then, could be seen as a form of career preservation.
“For the substantial subset of virologists who perform gain-of-function research, avoiding restrictions on research funding, avoiding implementation of appropriate #biosafety standards, and avoiding implementation of appropriate research oversight are powerful motivators.”
Could the pandemic have started with a lab accident in Wuhan? Safety breaches with coronaviruses at a US research partner lab show how it’s possible for potentially infected workers to move about in public. propublica.org/article/near-m…
Records show at least 8 UNC researchers were required to undergo medical monitoring because of potential exposures to lab-crated SARS and MERS coronaviruses from 2015-2019. Records we obtained indicate they went about their lives in public.
In 2016, a researcher was bitten by a mouse infected with a type of lab-created SARS-like virus that UNC refuses to disclose. UNC discussed isolating the scientist. Instead, they let her to go about her life in public with requirement to wear surgical mask + temperature checks.
"The live SARS-like coronavirus SL-CoV-WIV1 has been isolated for the first time from bat droppings; and such virus has been confirmed to invade the host cells through the ACE2 of human beings..."

In this study, we have developed a fast and cost-effective method
for reverse genetics of coronaviruses by combining two approaches developed by others..As the genomes can be divided into multiple short fragments, mutations can be introduced into individual
fragments easily.
