Caryl Griffin, BSN, MSN, MDiv, presented a seminar to AALAS staff on January 11.
The Rev. Griffin is the president of the Elizabeth R. Griffin Research Foundation, and the mother of Elizabeth (Beth) who died from B virus infection, transmitted from a rhesus macaque.
Caryl and her family drew great strength in establishing the Foundation, turning the loss of a beloved daughter into a mission of educating the biosafety community about zoonotic diseases, providing a support network to those who have contracted or are at risk of contracting a zoonotic disease, and promoting safe research involving the use of animals.
Caryl shared the history of the foundation, its mission, and its initiatives. Because best biosafety practice depends on effective teamwork and communication among individuals who have the responsibility of safeguarding each other, Caryl also spoke on the mutual dependency of teams, in any profession, working collaboratively with unified goals.
