About this episode
In this episode, we break down the arrest of a Chinese researcher on a U.S. visa accused of illegally smuggling pathogenic E. coli out of the country and why the FBI is calling it a serious national security issue. In this episode, we also explore what this case raises about biosecurity controls, research-lab oversight, and how the U.S. balances open scientific collaboration with tighter vetting and enforcement.
