0:18.8	February 10, 2023. I'm Vincent Racken Yellow and you're listening to the podcast all about viruses
0:27.4	joining me today here at the incubator in New York City, Dixon de Pommeye.
0:33.6	Oh Vincent, everybody else, pleasure to be here. Dixon, it's good to see you again here at the
0:39.2	incubator. Oh, I'm getting used to this. I'm actually enjoying being surrounded by science again.
0:46.1	Ah, nothing like it is there. No, there isn't actually. Also joining us from Madison,
0:51.5	New Jersey, Brienne Barker. Hi, great to see everyone. I'm hoping that for you in New York City,
