MicrobeTV is an independent podcast network for people who are interested in the life sciences. Our shows are about viruses, bacteria, parasites, evolution, immunology and neuroscience. microbe.tv/contribute

What infuriates me most about this sort of thing is it's not like there's a shortage of experts to ask before parroting conspiracy theories. @microbetv.bsky.social ...has plenty of information on the subject. Actual bloody virologists!

Also @thenewsagents.co.uk if you're going to bring up stupid conspiracy theories, at least acquaint yourselves with the science that it shows there's absolutely no evidence to support them. youtu.be/rZ1FGCPenns?...

I want to thank both @angierasmussen.bsky.social and Dr. Vincent Racaniello at @microbetv.bsky.social for the video about gain of function because the conspiracy theorists only emphasize the term only under worst case scenario situations or in lunatic conspiracies you mentioned.

Did a livestream with @angierasmussen.bsky.social on the Fauci fiasco from ASV. Link below Recorded 29 July 2026 from the American Society for Virology annual meeting, hours after Tony Fauci pled the Fifth before Rand Paul’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. #asv2026

What exactly is a cooling tower and why does it matter during a Legionella outbreak? Dr. Daniel Griffin and Vincent Racaniello discuss the latest in Legionella updates plus how cooling towers work and the NYC rules and regulations in place to help prevent outbreaks.

MicrobeTV in the wild! We did a little Gowanus Canal exploring yesterday 🌱🌊 We talked green infrastructure, restoration & the many layers of history, ecology and science that shape this part of Brooklyn. Thanks to everyone who came out and spent the evening walking, learning & being curious
