Microbe TV

Microbe TV, a podcast network for science lovers, offers a series of weekly podcasts that may appeal to students, health professionals, and members of the general public. In 2008, two Columbia University professors, Vincent Racaniello and Dickson Despommier, founded This Week in Virology (TWiV), a weekly series of ninety minute episodes that explore a wide variety of topics, frequently with the aide of regular guest or expert hosts. As the title of the show suggests, TWiV specifically focused on new research and developments in virology, providing a way for listeners to learn more about topics currently in the news. As of this write up, more than 400 episodes of TWiV have been produced. In 2015, Racaniello founded Microbe TV with the aim of supporting other scientist-created podcasts. Since then, TWiV has been joined by five additional shows: This Week in Evolution, This Week in Microbiology, This Week in Parasitism, Urban Agriculture, and Virus Watch. From this website, visitors may listen to past episodes of these podcasts and check out related resources. Interested listeners may also subscribe to these shows via iTunes.
