0:00.0	This Week in Virology, the Podcast About Viruses, the kind that make you sick.
0:07.0	From Microbe TV, this is Twive, this weekend virology, episode 1161 recorded on October 18,
0:20.0	2024.
0:21.0	I'm Vincent Rachinello and you're listening to the podcast all about viruses.
0:27.0	Joining me today from Western Massachusetts, Alan Dove.
0:31.0	Good to be here and here in in Western Mass, it is another cloudless, glorious autumn New England day with the leaves changing.
0:39.7	We're at about peak foliage here at 68 Fahrenheit 20c and we have had no rain in ages.
0:48.0	Also joining us from Madison, New Jersey, Brian Barker.
0:50.8	Hi, great to be here. My weather is almost exactly like Allen, 67, but otherwise just like that, though I'm not sure we're at peak foliage yet. You're probably about a week away.
1:06.1	Yeah. Also joining us from Ann Arbor, Michigan, Kathy Spindler. Well, in the continuing trend of temperatures I'm 66 Fahrenheit which is 17 or 18
1:17.8	Celsius and it's sunny and beautiful and I'm not sure about peak foliage either but close.
1:25.2	All right now we're going to go in the other direction.
1:27.5	Also joining us from Austin, Texas, Rich Condit.
1:30.0	Hi everybody.
1:31.3	Great to see everybody actually the weather in Austin has been and continues to be weird. We last week had a record latest day in the year of 100 degrees. Okay, that was just a few days ago where we hit 102 and that is 11 days past the previous
2:00.5	record and this is since records have been being kept.
2:07.0	So welcome climate change.
2:11.0	But right now, then we had a gold front come through and the temperature has dropped 25 degrees.
2:18.6	Right now it is 79 and overcast.
2:22.4	So it's kind of, know at least it's not stinking hot I'm not
2:26.7	used to any clouds in the sky so that's a bit shocking and we have the beginnings of what passes for fall in Austin. I think some of the
2:38.7	leaves are getting tired. They don't really turn. The fall aasters are blooming. That's the good news. They're really pretty.
