Speaker 1 (00:10):
We've heard so much about COVID in the past few years,
but humans have been living with viruses since the beginning. Smallpox, polio,
the common cold, herpies, the flu. It's H five N
one two three four four B. It just rolls off
the tongue right From Pushkin Industries and Ruby Studios at iHeartMedia.
This is Incubation, a podcast about the other viruses that
(00:31):
shape our lives. I'm Jacob Goldstein, and on this show
you'll hear how viruses attack us, how we fight back,
and what we've learned in the course of those fights. Well,

We'll learn how scientists have transformed our understanding of virus ruses.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
