He discusses what the United States and many European countries have gotten wrong in their coronavirus response, the politicization of science and the damage it has done to effectively fight Covid-19, opportunities and hurdles in fighting climate change, how militarization and warfare have always been linked to advances in science and technology, how war is not just an American but a human disease, why China will be the first to hear from aliens if they contact us, the future of space exploration and much more!
