Dear Dr KAV,
You attributed the science of HIV listener pick to me in episode 475. I can’t take credit for this. Maybe you mixed up emails?

Thank you for reading this on TWiV 475.
Dr. Henderson noted that — at a time when both the Soviet Union and the United States were openly preparing for the possibility of destroying each other — he worked with Soviet public health officials to effect the eradication of smallpox.
How can one explain in today’s environment of emerging disease — and when Cuba poses not even a semblance of a threat — that US scientists will be restricted from travelling there? Government employees must respect the whims of a fool. The winds and the tides will not.
FWIW

Dear TWiV,
I recently visited the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and encountered an exhibit there that I thought you all would like to know about.
