🗣️ Biosecurity 'n' Chill: Q&A with Vivian Belenky at Clark Park

This Saturday @ 1pm in Clark Park (across from the Gettysburg Stone), join us for a laid-back chat + Q&A with special guest, Vivian Belenky - a physicist and biomedical engineer working on the prevention of airborne disease transmission indoors (e.g. the flu, COVID-19, and the common cold). They recently launched Aerolamp, a household lamp designed to kill airborne pathogens with far-UVC technology (read their story).

Bring a blanket, enjoy some light refreshments, and get the inside scoop on Vivian's work, including:

• Their journey developing the Aerolamp far-UVC device
• Real-world challenges in preventing airborne disease spread
• Insights from far-UVC research and safety testing

No prior biosecurity or far-UVC knowledge required - just your curiosity! But if you're looking for a deeper dive, we've got you covered:

• Delay, Detect, Defend: Preparing for a Future in which Thousands Can Release New Pandemics
• Blueprint Biosecurity | Blueprint for Far UVC
• Blueprint Biosecurity | Towards a Theory of Pandemic-Proof PPE
