He was a great teacher, an excellent scientist, and a wonderful friend. I miss him. https://alandove.com/posts/2023/one-thousand-epitopes-twiv/ Tue, 25 Apr 2023 12:37:57 -0400 https://alandove.com/posts/2023/one-thousand-epitopes-twiv/ Just over a week ago, I stepped out onto a stage in New York City to join a show, in front of a live audience of 130 people. 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/2019/2019-02-24-a-walk-on-the-wild-side-at-tufts-veterinary-school/ Sun, 24 Feb 2019 14:14:00 -0500 https://alandove.com/posts/2019/2019-02-24-a-walk-on-the-wild-side-at-tufts-veterinary-school/ On a blustery day in mid-December, TWiV co-host Vincent Racaniello and I, along with friend-of-the-show Islam Hussein, visited the picturesque campus of the Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine in Grafton, MA. Our primary job there was to record an episode of TWiV in front of a live audience, featuring Tufts researcher Jon Runstadler and members of his lab. You can check out that episode now on the TWiV site. Before the recording session, though, we got to tour New England’s only veterinary school, which occupies the former site of a state mental hospital.
