Earl is joined by Bryce Nickels, Robert H. Ebright, and Simon Wain-Hobson from Biosafety Now to discuss the dangers 'gain of function' research poses to public health and general safety.

Gain of function refers to a type of research in which the transmissibility and/or lethality of a virus is artificially enhanced in a laboratory. With the proposal of Bill AB413 and AB401, Wisconsin looks to become the first state to regulate and limit this type of research.

Bryce, Robert, and Simon are world-renowned scientists, with Ph.D.'s in chemical biology, genetics, and microbiology, that are now speaking out against the lack of transparency in the field. Biosafety Now is a global NGO dedicated to educating the public on the threat of research-generated pandemics and passing legislation to protect the public from the creation of non-natural pathogens. https://biosafetynow.org/
