Tomorrow (Apr 3rd) and the following day (Apr 4th), The Royal Society, London will host a 2 day international symposium on the `practice and policy of H5N1 research’.
Attending will be some of the biggest names in influenza research - including Ron Fouchier and Yoshihiro Kawaoka – whose H5N1 research papers got the green light by the NSABB for publication last Friday.
Other recognizable names include (but are not limited to) Robert Webster, Malik Pieris, Dr. Paul Keim, Michael Osterholm, Thomas Inglesby, Dr Philip Campbell, Dr. Bruce Alberts, Laurie Garrett, David Brown, Professor Peter Doherty, and Arthur Caplan.
The good news is that this two day session will be live streamed on the web.
Note: Broadcast times listed are for local London Time. So adjust for your time zone accordingly.
