You need to visit the Other Down Under sometime: sub-Saharan Africa! But Australia – and Australian virology – is wonderful.
Would love to visit the other Down Under. Working on raising money so TWiV can travel anywhere. And I loved Australia and Australians.
It was great to see you in Melbourne Vincent – you are welcome in Oz anytime. Just a heads-up, you may want to put aside the 1st week of December 2015 – the next Australasian Virology meeting!
Welcome any time. Just shout.
Thanks for coming to Australia and it was our pleasure hosting you Vincent!
