This Week in Virology American Society for Microbiology

I’ve been listening on and off for years. I have literally no idea what these people are talking about at all. Their voices relax me. Vince talking about boring ish in a jersey accent gives me ASMR. Each episode is so long. It’s perfect for sleepy time relaxation.

I hope this podcast takes off, it’s a real hidden gem. It’s actually not that boring I was being funny. Keep em coming guys eventually some info will make it thru my thick skull lol ❤️❤️❤️🦠 🦠 🦠

Entertaining and fairly high level scientific info, delivered with the non-scientist as well as the professional biologist in mind. They discuss everything from molecular and cell biology to marine and plant viruses, emerging viral threats to people and domestic animals. The discussions are good humored and accessible. Related podcasts can be found at www.microbe.tv, there you can find the podcasts about microbiology, parasitology and immunology. HOW DOES THE RACANIELLO DO IT?? Support the podcast at Patreon.com

As someone whose paper was featured on TWIV... They used to be based on hard science, then they dumbed it down, starting making dozens of mistakes per episode and injecting their ignorant personal remarks. Speaking of ignorant, The token women on the show are slow (I’ll give you the number of some real women scientists). Episode are 80% BS, 10% revisiting very old concepts and 10% mildly interesting concepts that are found throughout other media sources. For fun start on episode 1 and watch this gaggle of dusty old men slowly lose their edge.
