Customer Reviews
Best science podcast I've found
TWiV manages to do a great job walking a fine line that makes it interesting for someone with a medical or biological background but also accessible to the motivated lay person. In my case, TWiV has been interesting in areas I have some knowledge, very educational on topics where I don't and always entertaining.
Infectious
The enthusiasm of the host and guests demonstrates why science is worth the struggle. And virology is just one of those realms that is of endless fascination to folks who are not virologists.
Great podcast
A fascinating subject presented by scientists who love their work. Enjoyable and educational. Now that I've listened to all the older TWIV podcasts, I must wait for a new one each week. Sigh. Good job, Drs. Racaniello, Despommier, and Dove (and guests)!
