正文

At the dawn of the 20th century, humanity learned to engineer chemistry — and the chemical weapons of World War I soon followed

Decades later, humanity learned to engineer physics — and atomic weapons of WW 2 soon followed

In recent decades, humanity has learned to engineer biology
History says biological weapons will soon follow

This time, we can see it early enough to act

I sat down for a long conversation with @DKThomp to talk about Siberia, lab leaks, and what we can do to prevent the golden age of biology from becoming a nightmare
