Description

A 1-hour documentary produced by MicrobeWorld (the public outreach website by the American Society for Microbiology) and Vincent Racaniello, which explores how the NEIDL is secured from unauthorized entry, what's like to wear a BSL-4 level safety suit, how the facility is constructed to make it safe, and how workers carry out experiments with highly dangerous viruses such as Ebola virus and Lassa virus without jeopardizing their health or that of the surrounding community.
