Education is paramount to preventing all forms of diseases and conditions. Supercourse is a project designed to create a free lecture library of PowerPoint prevention lectures. To date, over 38000 academic faculty from approximately 150 countries with over 2600 available free PowerPoint lectures have participated to integrate Internet-based education into prevention of all forms of diseases and terrorism/bioterrorism. Biological agents are the oldest of the nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) triad and have been used by governments in warfare for over 2,500 years [1]. The objective of this chapter is to outline some scientific facts about bioterrorism, to understand terrorism and to help prevent bioterrorism. More specifically, our aim is to: (1) provide information about bioterrorism on the Supercourse collection of lectures; (2) show that terrorism/bioterrorism has had a long history; (3) demonstrate that bioterrorism has occurred worldwide, including in the countries of the Former Soviet Union (FSU); and (4) to conclude that terrorism/bioterrorism, while terrifying, is rare. However, we must be concerned, not paralyzed by fear, and be ready to fight all forms of terrorism/bioterrorism.
