24. Hazardous Research at Virology Labs w/ Richard Ebright
Manage episode 302902622 series 2985409
What is going on in virology labs around the world? Are they really using genetic technology to create superviruses? Though scientists still don’t know whether a lab accident had anything to do with the start of Covid-19, the possibility has raised questions about dangers lurking in labs.
Biologist Richard Ebright, a professor at Rutgers University, lays out a historical tour of germ research, and argues that it’s been too loosely regulated given the dangers inherent in collecting, storing, and sometimes enhancing viruses.
