0:10.4	From microbe TV, this is twiv this week in virology episode number 900 recorded on May 12th,
0:19.4	2022. I'm Vincent Drakonyello and you're listening to the podcast all about viruses. Joining me today
0:27.1	from Austin, Texas, Rich Condit. Hello, the air Vincent. I'm just, you know, when I hear you say
0:35.7	microbe TV, I immediately try and boot up the weather channel to find out what's going on for some
0:43.2	reason. It's not showing me Austin. I can tell you, it's probably about 80, 85 and sunny, not a bad day.
0:53.0	That's been a really hot recently and we're looking at 100 degree days well in advance of what
0:58.4	they ought to be, but that's good. I went rowing this morning. So it was nice. Yeah. It's 21C here in
1:05.4	New York. I was in Omaha yesterday. It was 92. Wow. They said it was unseasonably hot. Yeah.

1:56.4	So that was fun. Here in Ann Arbor, it's 85 Fahrenheit, 28C and wispy white clouds, but really nice day.
2:06.1	And from Madison, New Jersey, Brian Barker. Hi. It's great to see everyone. It is 73 Fahrenheit,
2:13.9	23C and sunny and just lovely here. And I turned in my grades yesterday. So I'm done
2:20.3	for the semester. So that makes it even lovelier. Well, my exam is not over to 4pm.
2:27.2	My final exam and then grades are due supposedly by close of business tomorrow, but I'll get them
2:32.8	in Saturday. I have like 90 extra credits to grade two. It's all right. It'll get done. Anyway,
