We are joined on the podcast by former Future Forward MP Panikka Wanich who was banned from politics for ten years because she dared to challenge the system. 

In a wide-ranging conversation, we discuss problems faced in Thailand, talked about how bad the media situation, and found out why she loves eating raw meat.

Hi, joining me today on the podcast is Alina Chan, a Post Doctorate researcher at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. 
Alina has made headlines over the past year for being one of the advocates of investigating all plausible explanations of Covid-19. Specifically, she has drawn the ire and fury of some scientists and the Chinese government for suggesting that the pandemic could be the result of a lab leak from a virology lab in Wuhan. 
She talks today about the evidence that she and other scientists have found that suggests that the hypothesis might be true and why natural causes might not be as apparent an explanation as one may think. 
Take a listen and judge for yourself.
