In this episode we talk about:

• Where the belief that 'bioweapons are easy to make' came from and why it has been difficult to change
• Why transferring tacit knowledge is so difficult -- and the particular challenges that rogue actors face
• As well as lastly what Sonia makes of the AI-Bio risk discourse and what types of advances in technology would cause her concern
