This Week in Virology (abbreviated as TWiV; /ˈtwɪv/) is a science podcast founded and hosted by Vincent Racaniello[1] with co-hosts Brianne Barker, Rich Condit, Dickson Despommier, Alan Dove, and Kathy Spindler.
In addition to regular panelists, there are frequent segments featuring front-line researchers, including director of the NIAID, Anthony Fauci.
[citation needed] This Week in Virology grew its audience significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and although its title remained the same, in early 2020, the frequency of podcasts increased to two or three per week in order to cover breaking news about the dynamic state of research and treatment of the disease.
Since December 2020, Griffin's clinical updates are given separate episode numbers and featured as standalone elements that may be accessed individually.
TWiV 962 also featured a guest appearance by Angela's sister, astrophysicist Chiara Mingarelli.
