0:10.6

From micro TV, this is twiv this week in virology episode one thousand fifty recorded on October

0:19.6

five, twenty twenty three. I'm Vincent Racken yellow and you're listening to the podcast all about

0:26.6

viruses joining me today from New York, Daniel Griffin. Hello, everyone. Daniel, how long have we

0:36.2

been doing these now? Is it like three years? The clinical updates. We started doing the clinical

0:42.3

updates in early 2020, right? So it was like right end of February, early March. So we are coming up on

0:51.6

is it in my counting for for it'll be four years before we know it. I think it's great. I think

quotation, poverty may be powerful enough to swamp the influence of variance in our DNA. And that's

2:01.3

from Karl Zimmer. You know, all this talk about variance. I just ran across that and I thought

2:06.3

that that was thought it was appropriate. We try to talk, I think, a lot about, you know, all the

2:12.0
