Episode 11: If You Think Rats are Bad, Think Again Because Bats are Even Worse (with Tim Passchier)
Manage episode 292064498 series 2910555
We welcome a very special guest and Intoxecology's own resident virologist, Tim Passchier (made famous by Episode 8: Tim's Three Critiques). Tim tells us about his work looking at how viral genomes are packaged, and grills Katie on why she personally cannot convert the US to the metric system. Tim then tells us about Pteropus bats and their role as viral reservoirs, before giving us a run-down of how the Coronavirus vaccine works and why we categorically should not be eating bats. Many, many tangents and lots of swearing.
