Tickets to the event had sold out almost as soon as they’d gone on sale. It was, of course, a massive ego boost, though the audience wasn’t there just to see me. They were there for the whole cast of “This Week in Virology,” the podcast I’ve been co-hosting for fifteen years. https://alandove.com/posts/2022/2022-12-06-the-misinformation-vaccine/ Tue, 06 Dec 2022 12:08:29 -0500 https://alandove.com/posts/2022/2022-12-06-the-misinformation-vaccine/ As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had the privilege of speaking to a big group of K-12 science teachers recently. One of the many interesting conversations I had at that meeting was with Kelly Melendez-Loaiza, who teaches at Mansfield High School in the southeastern part of Massachusetts.
