I cannot recommend Vincent Racaniello’s This Week in Virology enough. If you’re interested in listening to experts discuss cutting-edge, published and preprint articles covering the pandemic, with (often) minimal jargon and a healthy balance between skepticism and optimism, check TWIV out.
It will forever be the place where I first heard the quote: “If you’re going through hell…keep going.” Delightful.
While I’m plugging, you might as well check out Vincent Racaniello’s Columbia Virology Lectures course, currently free to watch.
