PICK YOUR POISON: THE ENDURING THREAT OF BIOLOGICAL TOXINS - Join the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense at the Atlantic Council for its latest meeting, mapping the threat picture of biological toxins and its implications for future biological attacks.

Easy availability and control of ricin, botulinum, and other toxins make them attractive weapons for use by US adversaries. This meeting of the Commission will discuss the historical and evolving threat of biological toxins and the unique scientific challenges inherent in detecting, characterizing, and attributing toxin attacks. The discussions will also touch upon the vulnerability of food and agricultural systems to toxin threats and the measures required to secure the supply chain from intentional adulteration.
