K-STATE ADMINISTRATORS SAY 1xbet online sports betting BELONGS IN KANSAS
K-State leaders remain optimistic that the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility 1xbet online sports betting built in Kansas.
&1xbet online sports betting ;We are excited about the opportunity to bring NBAF to Kansas and remain confident that NBAF will be built as scheduled in Manhattan, just as the Department of Homeland Security originally decided,&1xbet online sports betting ; said K-State President Kirk Schulz. &1xbet online sports betting ;We are working with our colleagues at the Kansas Bioscience Authority, with our federal delegation and the governor's office to continue to advocate that Kansas is the right place to put NBAF.&1xbet online sports betting ;
&1xbet online sports betting ;The facts are that modern research methods and facilities are extremely safe -- and urgently needed,&1xbet online sports betting ; said Ron Trewyn, K-State's vice president for research. &1xbet online sports betting ;The NBAF will be built with the highest safety standards, which are keeping tens of millions of residents safe in places where labs studying diseases already exist.
&1xbet online sports betting ;The Centers for Disease Control is located in Atlanta, Ga., where scientists have worked on the most dangerous human diseases for decades,&1xbet online sports betting ; Trewyn said. &1xbet online sports betting ;Current K-State faculty members -- veterinarians Jerry and Nancy Jaax -- worked for more than 20 years in federal biosecurity labs in Frederick, Md., and their son still lives nearby. Not a single community outbreak has occurred in these cities.&1xbet online sports betting ;
&1xbet online sports betting ;We strongly believe the NBAF will be a safe and secure facility,&1xbet online sports betting ; said Jerry Jaax, K-State associate vice president for research compliance. &1xbet online sports betting ;Even though decades-old infectious disease research facilities have served the nation safely and well, the NBAF will incorporate the most up-to-date safety, security and technological advances perfected in other biocontainment laboratories. Redundant and overlapping safety and security features characterize modern biocontainment facilities.
&1xbet online sports betting ;Upon completion, the NBAF will be the most advanced agricultural biocontainment facility in the world -- uniquely suited to perform innovative research to protect and sustain our agricultural infrastructure and food supply,&1xbet online sports betting ; Jaax said. &1xbet online sports betting ;The NBAF will include Biosafety Level - 4 (BL-4) laboratories. These are needed to address our lack of national capability to counter new or emerging agricultural diseases that have serious public health implications, such as Nipah and Hendra viruses.&1xbet online sports betting ;
The safety measures and careful construction 1xbet online sports betting even more stringent in this new facility, than in these older buildings because construction technology has continued to evolve and improve, Trewyn said.
Trewyn pointed to a lab in Winnipeg, Canada, where scientists study the highly contagious FMD virus just across the border from North Dakota.
&1xbet online sports betting ;FMD research is already conducted on the 'mainland' and has not spread to livestock outside the facility there,&1xbet online sports betting ; Trewyn said.
One of the researchers who studied animal diseases at the Winnipeg facility is Juergen Richt, a Regents Distinguished Professor at K-State's College of Veterinary Medicine and a Kansas Bioscience Authority Eminent Scholar.
&1xbet online sports betting ;The state of Kansas has unlimited possibilities in becoming a leader in research on foreign and zoonotic diseases of animals, not only within our nation but worldwide,&1xbet online sports betting ; Richt said. &1xbet online sports betting ;More importantly, the physical presence of modern biocontainment facilities and animal health experts in Manhattan will ensure our nation's agricultural security for decades.
&1xbet online sports betting ;Modern biocontainment facilities are safe and secure,&1xbet online sports betting ; he added. &1xbet online sports betting ;The safety risk is in not building such a facility because our livestock are at risk without them.&1xbet online sports betting ;
