“Vincent and company do a great job of choosing information that is of widespread importance and interest and explaining it clearly, and I've learned a lot of interesting things about viruses. However, the best thing about this podcast is the insight it provides into how science is done and how scientists think.
For instance, when reporting a new result the podcasters will discuss what other explanations might account for the result, what other questions are raised, what experiments could be done to answer these questions, and what the implications are for other areas. I also like the discussion about research methods: how clinical trials work, containment methods for working with dangerous viruses, and the ethical and risk management guidelines.
I think it's great for public understanding of science that this kind of quality information is accessible to everyone, so thanks and keep up the good work!
