Great episode.
And thanks for the great answer to my influenza question. It turns out, though, that about 2 days after I submitted that question I made it to your Virus Assembly lecture on iTunes U, and you cleared it up very well in the lecture.
It’s really interesting how sophisticated viruses can be when you don’t expect it.
