Viruses: Molecular Hijackers

Most of us know about viruses, and that they spread disease. But what is a virus exactly? Is it alive? How does it infect a host? There's a lot to discuss here! Take a look.

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

I’m genuinely MAD that my grade 12 class didn’t get to go over viruses more thoroughly, this is absolutely fascinating... wow

As someone who has been in the sciences for 45 years I say ‘thank you’ and rate this as ‘excellent’.

I spent 15 years at UNMC as an electron microscopist. Did early research with HIV. Cool to see teaching videos like this.

Really nice. Please continue what you're doing, you're doing great. I've learned about viruses more from this 10-minute video than 4 years in school.

The more I learn about viruses, the creepier they are!!!
