Richard Jacobs will be participating in the panel discussion on 'Viruses and Forensics'.

This session will take place on Thursday, August 22, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EDT.
"Cooperation and the discussion of new initiatives forms an important part of the search for methods of virus prevention," said Jacobs.
