On May 14, a group of 18 prominent scientists, including some of the most trusted virologists and epidemiologists studying COVID-19, penned an open letter in the journal Science titled “Investigate the origins of COVID-19,” in which scientists asked for “a dispassionate science-based discourse” on this issue. One of those scientists was Alina Chan, a postdoctoral associate at the Broad Institute at Harvard and MIT, who joins Brooke to talk about why it’s so important to get to the bottom of how COVID-19 first spread to humans.
