The advisory group on #ResponsibleScience and #DualUseResearch met at @who.int HQ in Geneva this week--look out for forthcoming reports on #AI-Biotech Convergence and Responsible Publishing, and Q&As on #MirrorBiology, research with pandemic risks, and military #biodefence research.

⚠️ The Hidden Risks of Synthetic Life: Synthetic organisms are powerful tools, but mutations or unintended interactions could lead to disease-causing agents. 🌍 Let’s ensure biosafety measures and ethical practices are at the forefront of innovation. 🚨 #SyntheticBiology #Biosafety #ResponsibleScience

A nice deep-dive on #MirrorLife. The community has done a great job setting standards of #ResponsibleScience: no creation of mirror life. Now let’s get the implementers involved and committed: funders and publishers.

Sad to learn of Steven Rose's passing. A pioneer in neuroscience, where his voice stood out in the scientific community for its moral clarity—particularly in challenging the militarisation of the life sciences and in advocating for #ResponsibleScience

To @lemonde.fr, I note that the #MirrorBiology dialogue initiative embodies several aspects of scientific stewardship and that it is an exemplary role-model of #ResponsibleScience.

Pleased to have received the silver LEAF for our laboratory today. Would not be possible without all the hard work of our laboratory members and Bronagh Heany in driving this effort. #sustainability can be achieved in laboratories, #responsiblescience

What is #Europe’s plan for #responsiblescience? In the actual @sciencemagazine researchers from @FraunhoferISI @AarhusUni @Ingenio_CsicUpv @IHS_Vienna @TechGroup89 @cwtsleiden and @ucl explain why #HorizonEurope needs a sustained support program for #RRI https://t.co/R6DcOBzUX1

True innovation in marine science must also be fair, inclusive, and responsible.
Projects like EUREMAP are working to set an example — building a culture of integrity and openness in ocean research.

Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi may sound like they came straight out of a fantasy show...
But the future of biotech shouldn’t be built on illusions.
🌱 Better to preserve than to resurrect.
💬 What do you think about bringing extinct species back?

Gave a lecture today on Digital & AI Tools for Responsible Science at Kyiv Aviation Institute 🇺🇦
We discussed how digital tools and AI support the full research lifecycle and why impact, responsibility, and ethics matter.
