.jpg)
There were some big microbiology stories in 2011 and many of them were covered on This Week in Microbiology (TWiM) a pod cast and vcast program created by Vincent Racaniello,, a Columbia University virologist and BioCrowd co-founder.
I was part of the inaugural TWiM team but other responsibilities made it difficult for me to participate on a regular basis. However, Vincent asked me if I had time over the holidays to join regular host Michael Schmidt, and him to do the 2011 review show that is posted here.
Ten Microbiology stories from 2011:
- Bean sprouts and E. coli O104H4 (TWiM 9, 20)
