Can public open data help protect against biothreats?

Amyluv's bookmarks 2017-10-24

Summary:

"At both a national and local level, open data is helping governments fight crime, improve public transportation and more. Could it help as an early warning system for biothreats — instances where harmful pathogens are released, deliberately or not — as well? A new Department of Homeland Security challenge posted to Challenge.gov asks data scientists, disease specialists and more to consider how existing open data sets might help detect new biothreats early."
