This page is part of an effort to flood social media with science and to engage the public in science-related issues. I work with plant viruses and the arthropods who vector them but I'll cover all aspects of virology here from human pathogens to archaea viruses and everything in between. Some general rules: Please be respectful of each other and we'll get along just fine. Spam will be deleted without notice. Remember to have fun and science hard! Note: The views expressed on this page do not necessarily represent the views of my employer and are mine alone.
