0:00.0	This week in virology, the podcast about viruses, the kind that make you sick.
0:10.2	From microob TV, this is Twiv, this week in virology, episode 960 recorded on December 2nd, 2022.
0:21.0	I'm Vincent Racken-Ello and you're listening to the podcast all about viruses. Joining me today from
0:27.3	Fort Lee, New Jersey, Dixon de Palmier. Hello everybody and looking at the window, it looks like
0:34.5	a fabulous day out there and I think it is actually for this time of the year, it's remarkably warm
0:40.2	and that's not to be unexpected given the climate change issues and all that stuff. But it's a
0:45.5	gorgeous day and I can see about a half moon sitting out there in front of my window and I put out

0:56.9	I know this is not exciting news for most people but I'm just over the moon.

1:29.1	I expect I'll see some blue jazze and cardinals later on in the year as the winter progresses.
1:34.9	Your urban environment there, yeah, you think? Oh, yeah, absolutely.

1:39.1	I'm also joining us from Austin, Texas, Rich Condit.
1:42.1	Hi everybody. 66 degrees and like totally cloudy, occasional drizzle. This is fine with me.
1:48.7	We managed to get through November without a without a hard freeze, which means we still got
1:53.2	plants blooming, which is good news. For Madison, New Jersey, Brian Barker.
1:58.4	Hi, so nice and sunny, but 42 Fahrenheit. So probably similar to Dixins.
