[Biopython] BioPython URLError

[Jeffrey Posey]

I've downloaded BioPython to my Jupyter notebook terminal, entered the code
from BioPython notebook (below), and it results in a URLError. What might
be the problem?

from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = " jp7363 at nyu.edu".
handle = Entrez.esearch(db ="protein", retmax = 100, term=" COVID-19
surface glycoprotein")
record = Entrez.read(handle)

URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate
verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain
(_ssl.c:1002)>
