  1. VRR trying to think of the name of Lana Del Rey circa minute 26.5.

    I think there is potential for a show title, or at least a one-liner by Alan…

    Prof. VRR– Great interview and discussion. Loved this podcast and the banter back and forth. Very cool science and research being done by Prof. Damania on herpesvirus.
    I could not see the keychain you guys were talking about though??
    Sounded very cool.

    Professor Racaniello-
    I very much enjoyed this interview with Prof. Damania.
    Prof. Joan Steitz (mentioned in this interview and on previous TWiV) and Blossom Damania are an inspiration to women in science everywhere.
    It would actually be very interesting if you could do a TWiV with women scientists like Professors Damania, Steitz etc. together in one episode to talk about their collective experiences as outstanding women in science.
    It would be inspiring to young women scientists like me.
    Please keep doing what you are doing. You have an enormous impact on budding scientists like me.
