Perhaps one of the coolest experiences I've had as a scientist to hear @abrahamlabhms @wanyuviridae paper on western equine encephalitis virus featured on TWiV! "Heartbeats and hoofbeats" Thank you at @profvrr! (starts at about 51 min) ❤️🐎@HarvardMicro

Sharing a piece on Triple E🦟. I am fascinated by this deadly virus so we do a lot of work on it in the lab. It's quite a nasty bug - for those who live in regions with activity, need to take appropriate precautions re: mosquitoes. @HarvardMicro
