At AAAS, professor Krystal Tsosie argues the future of science must be Indigenous-led

Krystal Tsosie, an expert in Indigenous genomics, bioethics, and data governance, will deliver a talk titled The Future of Science Is Indigenous at the American Association for the Advancement of Science Annual Meeting. Tsosie’s presentation examines how Indigenous science offers frameworks for equity, accountability, and stewardship as genomics, artificial intelligence, and precision health reshape research and society.

"...far beyond any control or prediction: the convergence of #geneticengineering and #AI.

#Artificialintelligence can use digitised genome data to create ‘blueprints‘ for new genetically engineered organisms. What risks does this pose for #biodiversity? Where will this “#superconvergence” lead?

"A new Chinese gain of function study created chimeric coronaviruses that can infect human cells and kill mice (up to 100% mortality)."

"The viral infection [and all animal experiments] were performed in a BSL-2 laboratory(!)"

So claims a person on X (formerly Twitter), but following the link to the research paper would appear to support the claims.
