Biosafety level Puns

A list of puns related to "Biosafety level"

Why is it that smallpox is stored at a “Biosafety Level 4”, yet Bubonic Plague is only kept at “Level 3” given both are very dangerous?

Why not have them both kept at the most restricted level?

Why does smallpox require a higher “Biosafety Level” than the Bubonic Plague?

Wikipedia says that the precautions for smallpox are tighter than the Bubonic Plague.

Yet given they are both so dangerous, why not treat them with the same care?

Why does recombinant pseudotyping enable dangerous virus to be studied at biosafety level 2?

Hi, I am new to virology. I am reading some studies for SARS-CoV-2 infection and neutralizing antibodies using recombinant pseudotyped VSV with spike proteins. My question is what makes pseudotyping suitable for biosafety level 2.

An article that described the method to generate pseudotyped VSV said that rVSV pseudotypes without G glycoproteins, when plated on susceptible cells, undergo a single cycle of infection. No more explanation why pseudotyped rVSV enables studies on dangerous viruses at biosafety level 2. The rest of the paper is just a long list of steps on how to make rVSV pseudotypes. After reading through this vast amount of detail, I am currently lost, exhausted and still oblivious of what makes rVSV and pseudotypes (in general) suitable for biosafety level 2.

Reddit search on this sub shows that no similar questions to mine have been asked.

Any help is pretty much appreciated~!

The Wuhan Institute of Virology is a Level Four Biosafety Level facility. When people claim that COVID-19 “wasn’t engineered” but “was being studied there” and “happened to escape,” point here to show them what “Level Four” practices consist of. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B…

Help! How do I get a job in a Biosafety level 3/4 lab?!

Hi all,

I’m a recent graduate in biomedical sciences, with specialism in microbiology and molecular biology. My main interests are in bacteriology/virology, and thus I would love to work in a high containment laboratory. I was wondering if anyone knew how you go about getting a job in a level 3/4 biosafety laboratory? Or does anyone know the name of any UK based laboratories that deal with level 3/4 pathogens? Any help would be much appreciated! Many thanks x
