    Prof VRR- You mentioned you are going to UNC Chapel Hill.
    When is that? Seems like you had a number of professors on TWIV from UNC lately- first Dr. Blossom Damania and now Dr. Ralph Baric from UNC. Any more planned for the future?

    • Dr. Damania is arranging a visit to UNC Chapel Hill next semester. I’ll do a TWiV there with even more virologists! No date set yet.

    What’s your comment on recent outbreak? Is there any evidence showing the possibility of lab leaking?

      Crickets. This is what rattles people. Thanks for asking. And when there is an answer (such as the Nature Medicine paper of 17 March) it’s full of speculation and evasion and then branded as “the science is settled”.

    You’d be surprised how many laymen are studying the Baric & WIV paper here in 2020.
