Let’s Meet the Virologists
Meet the people behind today’s virology headlines. People just like you working to understand viruses and how they affect you. Host: Larissa Thackray, Ph.D., Professor of Infectious Diseases
Episodes
We talk with Chinonye Dim, a graduate student at Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA, who characterizes more accessible animal models to develop new vaccines and therapeutics against flaviviruses.
We talk with Hatoon Baazim, a postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, MA, who studies the role of systemic and cellular metabolism in virus infection.
We talk with with Charlotte Nyblade, a DVM/PhD student at the Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, Blacksburg, VA, who used gnotobiotic pig models to study vaccine-mediated immunity and protection against enteric viruses.
We talk with Stephanie Goya , a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA, who uses genomic approaches to understand and predict the evolution of respiratory viruses such as RSV.
We talk with Roberto Alers-Velazquez, a postdoc at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Hanover, NH, who studies how subclinical herpes simplex virus infections can impair memory and behavior.
We talk with Abdullahi Jamiu, a graduate student at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, VA, who studies how encephalitic alphaviruses modulate cellular transcription and antiviral responses to discover novel therapeutic targets.
We talk with David James, a Naturopathic Medicine student at Sonoran University in Tempe, AZ, who investigates the antiviral efficacy of botanical compounds.
We talk with Katherine Calderon Mayo, a graduate student at the National University of San Marcos in Peru, who develops virus vectored vaccines against avian diseases.
We talk with Karen Pomeyie, a master's student at the University of Cape Coast in Ghana, who studies HIV.

We talk with Shreya Banerjee, a research fellow in the Division of Virology at ICMR-National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Diseases in India, who studies rotavirus-host interactions to develop new antiviral therapies.
We talk with May Wang, a graduate student in the Rasmussen lab at North Carolina State University, who studies the fitness dynamics of plant viruses.
We talk with Dr. Pedro Jiménez, an Assistant Professor in the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, who's lab focuses the ecology of avian influenza in Chile and South America.
We talk with Tyshawn Ferrell, a graduate student in the Neufeldt and Piantadosi labs at Emory University, who studies how previous exposure alters dengue virus evolution.
We talk with Jono Abshier, a graduate student in the Stedman lab at Portland State University, who studies viruses that infect archaea that live in volcanic hotsprings.
We talk with Dr. Rohit Jangra, an assistant professor at Louisiana State University Health Shreveport, who's lab focuses on identifying novel host receptors for hantaviruses.

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
