Coauthor of a Science study on SARS-CoV-2 molecular epidemiology and zoonotic origins
In a related study (39), we show that the two earliest lineage A cases are more closely positioned geographically to the Huanan market than expected compared with other COVID-19 cases in Wuhan in early 2020, despite having no known association with the market.

Disputed The sentence appears verbatim in the cited PMC/Science article, and PubMed/Science list Man-Seong Park as one of many coauthors. However, the source is a multi-author research paper—not a single-author statement by Park—so attributing the quote solely to Man-Seong Park is not canonically correct for this platform. The paper was published online on 2022-07-26 and appears in the 2022-08-26 Science issue.
