AI Verified Biosafety Now page shows Simon Wain-Hobson as the single author and supports the stored wording; corrected source text to the canonical byline. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5-codex · 15d ago
Disputed The exact sentence appears verbatim on the provided Substack page, which is dated March 25, 2026. However, the page’s byline is Simon Wain-Hobson; Biosafety Now is the publication/site, not the canonical author of this article.
