Virology 101

About once a month we produce a TWiV that is focused on explaining basic aspects of virology. We call this series ‘Virology 101′. All the posts in this series are listed on this page with links back to the original post. If you start from the top, soon you will have a good basic understanding of virology. Repeated listening often fosters better comprehension.

For those who prefer reading, there is Virology 101 and Influenza 101 at virology blog.

If you have any questions, send them to twiv@twiv.tv.

    Bonjour,

    I just discover your website with great Podcast about my field: virology. Because I am back in France and are still looking for a new position in virology and immunology, I appreciate your report on news in virology. I worked at OHSU in Portland OR on Human CMV as Postdoc and learn so much about host and virus interaction.
    My suggestion would be to cut your Podcast in 40 minutes but edit it each week instead each 2 weeks.
    Soon I will work at university I will suggest TWiV to my French coworker and students.
    Thank you very much
    Dr. Jerome Dumortier, in Rouen France.

    If this podcast had been around when I was at school I would have become a virologist – what a fascinating intriguing science

    Great stuff _ I was tuned into this podcast by a colleague and it is really the best science podcast I've found to date. Even though I've done work with viruses all my (admittedly short) career, listening to this just shows me how much more I still have to learn!

    Why not run a TWIV on eIF4G and eIF2-alpha? there’s a heap of fun to be had there and valuable concepts to be learnt

    I wonder if Dr. Racaniello offers online courses?
