Athens, GA – 1/17/07 – The Biomedical and Health Sciences Institute (BHSI) and Center for International Trade and Security (CITS) are working to forge links between science and policy experts through a new lecture series at the University of Georgia.
This seminar series will be held every second Thursday, beginning this month. Each seminar will focus on a single topic in the area of biosecurity and be led by a pair of UGA experts, one from science and one from policy.
With the creation of the new seminar series, BHSI and CITS have embarked upon a campus-wide initiative in science and security.
“The Science and Security Initiative has at its core a mission to promote science-based policy solutions to security challenges of the 21st century,” said Harry Dailey, BHSI director. “By bringing the internationally recognized strengths of the CITS in security policy together with UGA's considerable strengths in the biological sciences, we feel we can build an outstanding program at the university that can meet these goals.”
For more information about the UGA Science and Security Initiative and its planned programs, please contact Harry Dailey at hdailey@uga.edu or Gary Bertsch, director of CITS, at gbertsch@uga.edu.
