COVID-19
Chan became known during the COVID-19 pandemic for suggesting the possible lab origins of the virus in a preprint that failed to pass peer review, as reported by Rowan Jacobsen for the Boston Magazine[1] Chan become increasingly known when her work was covered in an article written by Nicholson Baker in New York Magazine, sparking a public debate on the origins of the virus.[2] Chan coauthored an OpEds on the subject with Matt Ridley the Wall Street Journal[3] and The Daily Telegraph[4]. Chan later signed open letters together with other scientists published in the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times on the possible lab origins of the virus, calling for full and unrestricted international forensic investigations into all possible origins of the virus.[5][6]
Chan was one of 18 scientists who signed a letter in Science Magazine calling again for further investigation into the origins of the virus.[7] The letter called for a "proper investigation" into the "viable hypothesis (of) laboratory spillover" and was widely covered in the press and brought the debate on the possible lab origins of the virus into the mainstream.[8][9][10][11][12][13]
