Avsnitt 16: Biologisk krigföring

Underrättelsepodden

I det här avsnittet inleder vi i vanlig ordning med uppdatering om våra senaste bidrag till forskningsfronten. Efter det går vi in på biologisk krigföring. Från en tysk sabotageoperation på amerikanska fastlandet under första världskriget till vad ny genteknik kan innebära för hotbilden från skräddarsydda virus och bakterier.
