Criminal Behaviorology  Lab Leak! Nicholas Wade and Origin of SARS-CoV-2 The entire interview can be found on our YouTube channel:  https://youtu.be/b-uyVPAnd5I The views of our guests do not necessarily reflect those of Criminal Behaviorology, nor our sponsors.  Nicholas Wade has written numerous books and articles on science. As the Science Editor for the New York Times (1990 to 1996) he possesses the skills necessary to sift through complicated ideas and arrive at the truth. When the COVID-19 (aka SARS-CoV-2) pandemic began, he soon began to suspect there was an unspoken truth about the origin of the virus.  He found not only was there evidence this virus was not of natural origin, but there was a deliberate effort to keep such an idea from becoming part of the mainstream discourse. Show Highlights: Nicholas Wade's concern with bias in science writing. How he became interested in SARS-CoV-2. The sustained campaign to suppress the lab leak hypothesis. How SARS-CoV-2 looks and acts differently than a natural virus. The three parts of the SARS-CoV-2's genetic structure that point to a synthetic origin. The 2018 DEFUSE proposal: Manipulation of the original SARS virus. The objections to “gain-of-function” research. How they were ignored. Behavioral and circumstantial evidence. The uncooperativeness of the Chinese government. Political polarization regarding the SARS-CoV-2 issue. Do we have enough evidence already? The harm done to the reputation of the scientific community.

Ever since the discovery of DNA scientists have been on a quest to understand the secrets of the human genome. This quest has not only involved analysing the role genes play in making us who we are – the history of genetics has also been shaped by a desire to explore how far our genes can be altered or enhanced.  In 2012, the discovery that a molecule known as CRISPR could be programmed to add and remove elements of DNA marked a huge leap forward, transforming research into treatments for diseases as varied as cancer, Alzheimer's, sickle cell and HIV, as well as many rare genetic conditions.  In this conversation, recorded at the Francis Crick Institute in London, our panel explores the urgent ethical questions that these advances have unleashed. Chaired by Dr Guddi Singh, the panel featured Tom Whipple, Science Editor at The Times, Shani Dhanda, an award-winning disability activist and inclusion specialist, Dr Güneş Taylor, postdoctoral research scientist at the Francis Crick Institute, and Jimi Olaghere, one of the first people in the world to take part in a life-changing clinical trial using gene therapy to treat sickle cell disease.  In this episode (Part II) the panel responds to questions from the audience on the real life implications of gene editing, and the role society should play in regulating the field. If you missed part one of this conversation, please go back and listen now. The event was organised to coincide with a free exhibition at the Francis Crick Institute, London called ‘Cut and Paste,' exploring the future and ethics of gene editing.

How do you pick a home in a location that's safe from the unpredictable effects of climate change? Can scientists tell us what climate impacts each neighbourhood in an Indian city will see? In this episode, experts take us through what it would take to make hyper-local climate forecasts for city neighbourhoods, so you can choose a climate safe location to live in. We also see what we already know about future impacts and what we can do in the absence of forecast data. This is Part-1 of a Three-Part Climate mini-series. Experts we spoke to for this episode (in order of appearance): Sandhya Ramesh, Science Editor at The Print. Dr. Roxy Mathew Koll, a Climate Scientist at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology Dr. Indu Murthy, head of the Climate Environment and Sustainability sector at the Centre for Study of Science, Technology and Policy, a research-based policy think tank in Bangalore.

It was 1992. I figured I could make a few bucks programming while piecing together odd jobs to fit my schedule. Once graduated and established in my orthopedic career, I pressed my foot down on the accelerator and created a legitimate process for fitness and nutrition entrepreneurially. I completed a doctorate in nutrition because the field interested me so much personally. In 1996, I bought a small boutique fitness facility and immediately added nutrition consulting as our centerpiece service. It was here that I pioneered a new process called macronutrient tracking, now known as Flexible Dieting. During 1998, I became the Science Editor for Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness magazine, wrote for other publications within that media company, and freelanced for Muscle Media, Muscular Development, Iron Man, and I think I had an article or two in Muscle & Fitness. My pro bodybuilding career ramped up and I knocked out a second doctorate in health education to fortify my writing pursuits. I was helping friends peak for bodybuilding contests and a couple of them won pro cards and pro contests. One Friday in 2001, the Editor in Chief of Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness reminded me that my ad was due. Part of my remuneration for writing was ad space. I just didn't have anything. Over the weekend, I thought, "Well, maybe people would actually pay for the nutrition coaching services I do for friends." My graphics guy created the first ad: Dr. Joe - Contest Peaking Specialist. Bolstered by my against-the-grain articles pioneering contrarian methods, it didn't take long for just that entry point to take over my schedule. Within a decade, I had helped clients win hundreds of pro cards and pro titles, and, more importantly, it created the birth of an industry. The coaches who were swept up in that early wake rode high on the crest of the wave. Together and apart we forged an industry. Personal nutrition coaching has become an example of how culture - and sometimes one idea - can spark a massive change. I wanted to step back and collect some of those stories for you.
