Digging into the history of biological warfare! This week, Adriana Borgia, a graduate student from the University of Pennsylvania, was onsite at the Center for History Microbiology/ASM Archives (CHOMA). A 2024 CHOMA travel award winner, Borgia was perusing materials for her dissertation exploring the design, environment, safety and danger of American, Canadian and British biological weapons research in the second half the 20th century. She was specifically focused on diving into CHOMA’s Biological Warfare Collection, as well as some of the Center’s regional history and vertical files.
