#260 | Alina Chan; Update on the Covid origin story, news cycles

Alina Chan is a molecular biologist working at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. She published a book with 2 time past VCP guest Matt Ridley about the origin of Coronavirus that exposed a narrative that was very different from what was being reported at the time. She returns to the podcast to talk with Vance about what's changed with the story about the origin of Coronavirus since her last appearance, the story about bioweapon in Ukraine/Russia, and the speed of the news cycle. She also talks based on her experience as a molecular biologist about viruses, how they're studied in biology and the the financial dynamics of this space. Follow Alina on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AyjchanAlina and Matt's book: https://www.amazon.com/Viral-Search-Covid-19-Alina-Chan-ebook/dp/B096TCFVYPPODCAST LINKS —Vance Crowe Podcast Website: https://www.vancecrowe.com/podcastYouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCigB7W5bX_gCinJxev9WB8w/YouTube Clips: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJKKb66A5_4ZcsE-rKI24ygBuy a sweatshirt, T-shirt or mugs from the podcast!
