Professional disagreement over the pandemic should not be handled with intimidation and ruling techniques
The debate over the origins of the pandemic is not just about academic disagreement, but about academic freedom of expression.
The Arguments "Bondelaget" Leads Are Weak
Farmers should not stand in the way of GMOs that can make the farming industry more sustainable and strengthen fish welfare.
Gene technology for better fish welfare
GMO anxiety does not merely cost the aquaculture industry billions of Norwegian kroner; it also harms the lives and health of salmon. To prevent avoidable suffering, industry leaders and policymakers must act quickly.
Scare propaganda from the environmental movement is costing thousands of lives
Sacrificing children's lives for the sake of being is not defensible.
Statement on Biosecurity Risks at the Convergence of AI and the Life Sciences
This statement was developed by NTI in association with the AIxBio Global Forum.
We need answers about the origin of the pandemic to avoid new disasters
Technological thresholds for developing dangerous viruses and bacteria are disappearing at a high pace.
Mystery in Wuhan
Molecular biologist and science communicator Sigrid Bratlie has published a book in search of the origins of the COVID pandemic.
Politicisation of knowledge is a serious issue in the debate over the origins of the pandemic
This is a serious matter and there is a lot at stake.
California has declared a state of emergency. The bird flu could become a global pandemic.
We are in a race against the clock.
At the back of the line
If Norway does not quickly become part of the EU health community, Norway could end up last in the vaccine line if a new pandemic strikes us.
Science has not provided good enough answers to the question of the origin of the pandemic
Here politics has become entwined with what should have been open and free research.
A lab leak may have started the corona pandemic
The corona pandemic has been the biggest global crisis of our time. It has cost millions of lives, trillions of dollars and inflicted countless other negative consequences on society. The origins of the pandemic remain an unanswered question. In this document, we review the available knowledge. Based on this, we assess it as of June 2024, as most likely that the pandemic was the result of an accident at a research laboratory in Wuhan, not from natural contagion from animals at the wet market close by. We also point out how both the political and scientific system have failed in dealing with the issue and thus stood in the way of designing a knowledge-based preparedness and prevention policy for future pandemics.
Weapons, Plague and Gold - Opportunities and Threats of New Biotechnology
The twin revolutions in biotechnology and artificial intelligence will, in the future, dramatically increase the ability of humans to decode and program genetic code. This gives us the ability to design completely new biological functions and organisms - called synthetic biology. Synthetic biology will, over the next few decades, create trillion-class values and help us solve challenges in climate, animal welfare, food supply, medicine, vaccines, biomaterials and many other areas. At the same time, synthetic biology can have disastrous consequences either as a result of mishaps or intentional damage. In order to harness the enormous benefits that biorevolution can bring us, while avoiding the greatest dangers, we need to develop precise and ambitious policies.

The Next Technology Revolution
Biological design will turn society upside down. Whether we like it or not.
