Dr. Kiki and ERV, LIVE!

Im going to be doing a live show for This Week in Science tonight!

Dr. Kiki's Science Hour

Gonna talk about endogenous retroviruses and how to bring them back to life (just in time for Halloween!!) and all sorts of fun stuff (HIV-1, epigenetics, etc)!

They uploaded the video if you couldnt catch it live-- listen to me blither here!

Iâm confused :-/

Iâm seeing this for tonight (where you are, that is, itâs "tomorrow" where I am!) :-

"The question of whether fish feel pain. Guest: Dr. Victoria Braithwaite, Professor of Fisheries and Biology, School of Forest Resources, Pennsylvania State University."

Somehow I don't think you're talking about fish feeling pain :-)

Nice work with this interview. You speak fairly fast. Toastmasters international is a great resource if you plan on doing regular public speaking like this.

You both covered a lot of ground in a short time. I found your comments on retroviral disease markers intriguing. Feel free to discuss this topic on your blog.

Good job, and the tinkle of dog tags in the background provided a nice homey touch that I miss.

I just now started listening. I love your voice, it doesn't sound at all like I expected it too, but I'm a big fan.

In the education/academic domain, you and Dr. Kiki need to go viral in every middle school and high school science classroom! You are dynamite on video...one incredibly informative and stunning genetic package. I would have appreciated images of you working in the lab and maybe a few images of ERVs, or something, popping-up once in a while. The interview did cover a ton of ground...and left me wanting to know more. ERVs are VERY COOL!
