In this installment of the Future Grind podcast, host Ryan O’Shea speaks with Supervisory Special Agent Edward You of the FBI’s Biological Countermeasures Unit. This unit falls within the Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate, and is focused on identifying existing and emerging biological threats, and ultimately on preventing acts of bio-terrorism. Because of this focus, SSA You spends much of his time examining the possible risks posed by synthetic biology, gene editing, and other fast-growing fields of development. He has a special interest in establishing partnerships with with community DIYbio labs, and has previously spoken at DEF CON’s Biohacking Village.

They discuss the mission and operation of the Biological Countermeasures Unit, the perceived differences between intentional and accidental harm, the FBI’s interest in community labs and citizen science, resources available for members of the biohacking and DIYbio communities, and much more.
