Books
This is an obvious question. Yet there's been an extraordinary effort by government officials in China, as well as leading scientific experts in the United States and around the world, to shut down any investigation or discussion of the lab leak theory. In private, however, some of the world's elite scientists have seen a lab accident as a very real and horrifying possibility. They know what the public doesn't. Lab accidents happen with shocking frequency. Even at the world's best-run labs. That's among the revelations from Alison Young, the award-winning investigative reporter who has spent nearly 15 years uncovering shocking safety breaches at prestigious US laboratories for USA Today and other respected news outlets. In 'Pandora's Gamble', Young goes deep into the troubling history - and enormous risks - of leaks and accidents at scientific labs.
