KITP: Topology of Flu Strains

evolutionary dynamics of influenza!
and how flu immunity is defined by you Hamming distance in protein bit space

The Kavli Institute has a very interesting biophysics program series...

Last semester there was another interesting biophysics colloquium:

The Puzzle of the Evolutionary Dynamics of Influenza
Luca Peliti, Univ. Federico II (podcast, video, slides)

Very timely talk that.
Worth browsing through.
