I’m a high schooler who hasn’t really had the chance to make any microbiology classes, but this makes me want to go into the field. Comprehensive enough that you don’t have to be a microbiologist or have some fancy degree to understand what they’re talking about, but they don’t dumb it down which...Read full review »

I always think that if this had been what journal club was like, it would have been a lot more fun. Just talking through good papers and good science (without picking apart every figure) and having some laughs. Good times!

Make sure you checkout TWIV too! They got YouTube videos and a lot of resources on their website.

I love this podcast and have been listening for years. I appreciate the vast scope of microbiology that is covered as well as the integration of current events. Each one of the hosts makes you feel like you know them personally. My first ASM-Microbe conference was in Atlanta a couple of years ago...Read full review »

You just can’t escape politics even here, stop it already! I just want to listen about biology.

I learn so much from TWIM. Microbiomes are made practically huge, to my scope of conceptual perception. I’m glad y’all enlarge my view on science

Interesting and informative.

Educational and they are clearly having a good time. Gets me more info out of these articles than I ever could on my own

Absolutely great show.
Hulahoop@52 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/19
Without dumbing down, or being patronizing to non-microbiologists, this podcast manages to educate and inform.
Music Lover 555 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/19
This is truly a great listen for scientists interested in microbiology. Dives into diverse subjects with an eye-leveled discussion. Almost feels like you’re having a nice discussion over beer at the end of a conference.

Most times while listening to this podcast I think to myself "That is so awesome, how did I never know this before? I am not even surprised though"Read full review »

First and foremost thank you for the great work that you do. I am going slowly through your podcasts (a lot to chew on). I was wondering if you would consider reviewing another mycology podcasts given the recent surge of super bug Candida strains.

Hi TWiM team! I want to say thank you for your dedication and service in science education and outreach! As a student of science I value the material presented here and on all of the TWiX podcasts. I also have a passion for education and outreach myself and admire your work to spread the good...Read full review »

I’ve only just discovered this podcast and I can’t get enough. Thank you for making this available to the lay person! I wish I had paid more attention in science classes and pursued this fascinating field of study.
Ivana Haffun via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/18
Awesome podcast. It blows my mind every time
Clintsattic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/09/17
I you are no layman, the TWiX team may have the only podcasts worth listening to. I this hardcore science is not for the faint of heart, but if you start from the beginning you will be able to access it.

I thought I left microbiology behind with Biology 210 in 1969, but Vicnent et. al. have rekindled my interest. Thanks so much!

You should make a podcasts for cell biology, genetics, and molecular biology

You can't get more diverse, informative, and sometimes jaw-dropping than what the world of microbes provides. If only it were easier to understand. IT IS. Right here. Friendly conversational discussions of some of the most interesting things to evolve on planet Earth. Very novice-friendly.Read full review »

I am addicted to what I learn from this show. I'm addicted to TWIM, TWIV, TWIP and TWIEVO. What an amazing gift Vincent has provided to the world by doing these shows. Countless lives and careers, including my own, have been forever changed by these highly educational and very well done shows...Read full review »

Wonderful educational podcast relating to the best topic in the world: Microbiology. I love the relaxed atmosphere, and the ability for the hosts to delve into and break down the primary literature into a form that is digestible for non-scientists / people from different fields. Keep up the...Read full review »

Very entertaining. Listeners can hear accurate and current microbiology and can begin to understand the far reaching universal implications of microbiology. It also humanizes scientists because the hosts discuss the social and political aspects of research.
Yoloking8787 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/29/15
I’m making my way through the TWiM podcasts one at a time, starting with episode 1. I’m only about 12 episodes in, but WOW. It is truly fantastic - very accessible, mostly accurate, and always informative and entertaining. If you haven’t listened yet, do!
ndavis1618 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/14
I really love the TWiX podcasts. The presenters are great characters and the content is fascinating!
pstils via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/15/14
Along with TWiP and TWiV, TWiM is the best science podcast you will find.
StephenAU via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/06/14
Dr. Racaniello et al. run an amazing podcast covering a host of topics. As a Microbiology undergraduate student I look forward to his podcasts weekly and consider them the best part of my morning.
Cthuddha via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/14
...because I guess bacteria are more inherently accessible than viruses? In any event, I find that I understand more in this podcast than I do in TWIV. Again, the hosts here have a great commitment to science and to their audience, and I learn something every time. Michelle and Elio are...Read full review »

A great easy to listen to podcast about the unseen world around us, keep up the good work Vincent and friends!
johnniB via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 08/16/14
I have been listening to TWiM since its inception, and it has consistently been a well-produced, interesting, and engaging podcast. Vincent Racaniello and the other contributors regularly produce high-quality and informative episodes that have made me a long-term listener.

Informative and engaging, makes microbiology accessible to everyone!
Djvsgjvjj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/14
Listen to these goodhumoured, intelligent lively discussions on very diverse but allways interesting aspects of microbiology research.
Renterob via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 07/09/14
The contents are clearly presented, a pot pouri of microbiology presented cohrently by a group of people who project interest in each other and the papers being reviewed. I look forward to listening to each new podcast in this series as well as TWIP and TWIV. I am a non-scientist who is hooked.
bjrb via · 05/27/14
Racaniello has the knack of being interesting as I take a long drive or work out at night. Each podcast is about an hour long, which matches my workouts, so I search for all his podcasts and doanload them all and use them bye and bye.This Week in Virology, This Week in Parasitology and all the...Read full review »

I so look forward to listening to the TWIx podcasts. What a great way to learn. Thank you so very much.

I absolutely love the TWiX (TWiM/TWiP/TWiV) series! They join me on my commute. Scientists can tend to get focused on their own, often narrow, field. The TWiX series allows us to stay up to date on diverse topics in microbiology. Like having your own personal journal club in your pocket - but...Read full review »

...I listen to these, (TWIM, TWIP and TWIM) on Science360 as much as I can. Sure a lot of the time I am not familiar with the topics but I still enjoy listening and I am learning a lot...amazing. I really like these 'shows'.Read full review »

This great show is like listening to a microbiology journal club discussion.

I work in Health Protection in the UK and I find this podcast great for background interest, informed debate and new and interesting finding published in the scientific literature. Please Keep up the great work TWIMers

I try to catch every episode. It has just the right blend of scientific humour and fascinating information. Really stimulates your thinking.

High level science that is entertaining as well.

I get so excited when a new TWIM is out. You know its the little things that make life so wonderful.
TreyfromPhilly via · 12/11/13
Part of the "This Week In..." series hosted by Dr. Racaniello, TWIM reviews up-to-date articles and topics in Microbiology. This is science for the non-scientist, delivered in a comfortable format.
