Sinead brings in a fellow expert, Jayna Raghwani to discuss the finer points of the Swine Flu and the behavior of viruses in general. After several delays, the episode was recorded, and after a few more delays, it is now up and running. And just because the episode is over, doesn’t mean that the discussion will end. If there are more questions that anyone has along these lines, please let us know so that we can address them in the future.

Loved it! Like Rob, I have been trying to get information on these things but everything out there is so skewed and biased. It’s great to get that scientist’s perspective in language that a layperson like myself can understand, thanks
Thanks, Belinda! Glad that the show could help and inform!
FINALLY! Information that isn’t filled full of panic and propaganda and from a source I know I can trust!
Thanks so much!
