TOPICAL THEME FOR TODAY–BIOTERRORISM
2
TOPICAL THEME FORTODAY-BIOTERRORISM• The topic of bioterrorism comprises a variety of
topics and approaches, and is timely.
• Notable among the highly cited papers are reportson the genome sequences or the specificbiochemical actions of the pathogens underlyinganthrax, smallpox, plague, and other scourgeswhose causative agents have the potential to beweaponized.

TOPICAL THEME FORTODAY-BIOTERRORISM (cont.)• Additional topics include the technology of
bio-sensors and other means of detection, alongwith the development of vaccines and othercounter-measures.
• Other papers assess the public-health andenvironmental aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, oroffer more general discussions of preparednessand emergency management.

TODAY WE FOCUSED ON ATOPICAL ANALYSIS• However, these metrics and types of analysis are
often used for performance assessment activities:– Analyze your intramural or extramural research
Which programs are producing world class research?
Which researchers are standing out from the rest?
How does our research compare with our peerinstitutions?
Did our investments in new staff or research facilitiespay off?
