Novichok in Chemical WarfareOct 10, 201821mGuest: Peter Chai, MD, Medical Toxicologist, Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA and Assistant Professor, Medicine, Harvard Medical School Russia continues to deny it had anything to do with the attempted assassination of Sergei Skripal – a former Russian spy living in the UK. Both Skripal and his daughter survived serious illness after exposure to a nerve agent British officials say was Novichok.

British officials have called the attack an unacceptable act of aggression.
