On this episode of Serious Shot, Pam and Heather discuss the new controversial addition, approved by the Larimer County Planning Commission, of a NIH funded “bat lab” at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.  Prompted by a detailed article written by Children’s Heath Defense author Michael Nevradakis, PhD., Pam and Heather begin a multi-episode series on this potentially dangerous endeavor.  https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/nih-funded-bat-research-lab-leak-colorado/Area residents are concerned that the research being conducted at CSU could potentially lead to a lab leak akin to that which may have occurred at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, and may have led to escape of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Yet, concerned citizens have been stonewalled by both CSU and lawmakers.Listen in to hear about what is known about this project so far and what concerned citizens can do to start getting answers and accountability from CSU and local government.Listen to Part 2 of this series here: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/serious-shot/episodes/Bat-Lab-Part-2--FOIA-Uncovered-Secrets-e266tp4Larimer County Commissioners Meetings (Commissioners oversee BOH and Planning Commission)Every Tuesday at Hearing Room, 1st Floor, 200 West Oak Street, Fort CollinsMore information:  https://www.larimer.org/bocc/commissioners-meetings#/uws/Larimer County Planning CommissionEvery 3rd Wednesday at Hearing Room, 1st Floor, 200 West Oak Street, Fort CollinsZoom Link: https://larimer-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xvEByGr7RVys8d2gYss3HQPlanning Commission meeting website: https://www.larimer.gov/boards/planning-commission/meetings#/list/Board of Health MeetingsEvery third Thursday 1525 Blue Spruce Drive Zoom Link: https://larimer-org.zoom.us/j/97661254041?pwd=STFYdFFFandJRTVoQVlXU1dDaTI1dz09Board of Health Website: https://www.larimer.gov/boards/board-healthThe agenda is posted on the Monday before the meeting.  Zoom link and sign up for testimony is found on the agenda.Fort Collins City Council MeetingsFirst and third Tuesdays of each month at 6 p.m.Council Chambers at City Hall West, 300 Laporte Avenue. https://www.fcgov.com/cityclerk/agendas
