There’s lots of interesting stuff I didn’t get into here. I nudge others to follow-up on:
the history of how biosafety standards arose (tldr: military started because of biowarfare; academia integrated upon)
why labs uphold biosafety standards, even though there’s not that much enforcement and oversight detail written into law (tldr: researchers learn a culture of safety in academia, and there’s stronger personal incentives to be safe since you might get infected)
how many labs, government agencies, and independent contractors interacting in a complex systems somehow functions (don’t know)
how biosafety standards fail (don’t know)
how effective each standard is, and why it works (don’t have a tldr answer)
Thanks. Good suggestion, added table
