Biosafety and biosecurity are increasingly important for students entering the biological sciences, but these topics are often limited to laboratory safety training or briefly discussed within other courses. MICR 202, “Introduction to Biosafety and Biosecurity,” was developed to give undergraduate students a broader understanding of biological risks and the responsibilities associated with working in the biological sciences. This course asks students to consider how risks are assessed, managed, and communicated in real-world situations. Students explore these topics through workshops, case studies, discussions, and a culminating group presentation. Case studies examine laboratory accidents, emerging disease outbreaks, and the deliberate misuse of biological agents. Applied workshops cover personal protective equipment, biological safety cabinets, aseptic technique, risk assessment, emergency response planning, and public communication.
