Covid lab leak speculation & revolutionary click chemistry

Thursday, 10 November 2022 - 8:30am

This week, Chris examines some recent reporting on the hypothesis that COVID-19 originated as a leak from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, and finds that it’s based less on science than it is on reading between the lines in questionable translations of online documents; and Stu explains the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022, which was awarded for the development of “click” and bioorthogonal chemistry.
