It's a amily episode this week as we welcome our Director of Ready Made Media at 12:30 - Anthony Racaneillo (RAC for short). Rac also serves on staff at one of the largest churches in Philadelphia - Epic Church. He has an incredible story that we talk about on the show, he has a background as an entrepreneur, a business owner, a fashion mogul - he has designed shoes for some of our country's top athletes and companies. God got a hold of him the last couple years and has redirected his life toward ministry. On the show today we'll be taking a deep dive today into how Epic Church is changing the game when it comes to Church Online. They produce an entire online production specifically for digital platforms - meaning when you attend Epic, it is not the same thing as what you see online. The teaching content, the sermon series might be the same, but the delivery is not. Rac is playing a big role in how Church Online is done and brings lots of fresh ideas to the table.

Una de las preguntas que más ha rondado por las bocas y pantallas de todos nosotros es ¿de dónde salió este virus? Ha habido respuestas absurdas, falsas, alarmistas, malintencionadas, pero también ha habido mucho trabajo científico que nos ha ayudado a despejar esta duda. En colaboración con La Pandemia de la Desinformación, un proyecto colectivo y multidisciplinario de divulgación para combatir la información errónea en estos tiempos, les traemos este episodio especial en el que abordamos algunas de los puntos más acuciantes sobre esa gran duda.

Dr. Vincent Racaniello, Columbia University Professor of Microbiology & Immunology, works directly with Covid-19 patients, and joins us again to give the latest updates on the global coronavirus flu pandemic. Dr. Racaniello first visited our stream on March 9, 2020 in the earlier days of viral outbreak in the USA. He answers questions, debunks conspiracies, dispels myths and dispenses facts, including practical precautions and preventive measures we can all take. This is a unique opportunity to watch and interact with one of the foremost medical experts in the US.

Sunday March 15, 2020 Dr. Vincent Racaniello, is Higgins Professor of Microbiology & Immunology at Mount Sinai School of medicine, Columbia University New York. He has been studying viruses for over 40 years, starting in 1975, when he entered the Ph.D. program in Biomedical Sciences at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine of the City University of New York. His thesis research was focused on influenza viruses. In 1979 he joined the laboratory of Dr. David Baltimore at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for postdoctoral work on poliovirus. In 1982 Vincent joined the faculty  in the Department of Microbiology at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York City. There he established a laboratory to study viruses, and to train other scientists to become virologists. Over the years his laboratory has studied a variety of viruses including poliovirus, echovirus, enteroviruses 70 and D68, rhinovirus, Zika virus and hepatitis C virus. As principal investigator of his laboratory, he oversees the research  that is carried out by Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows. He also teaches virology to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as medical, dental, and nursing students. His virology lectures are available online at iTunes University, YouTube, and Coursera. Personally I listen to Dr. Racaniello on his many podcasts including This Week in Microbiology, This week in parasitology, this week in evolution, and of course, this week in virology, the podcasts about viruses, the kind that make you sick.

I've seen a frightening amount of misinformation about the coronavirus (properly called COVID19.) We need to break down the truth of the coronavirus and its impact on people. Ethan Evans (VP @ Twitch Prime) and I sit down with a leading virologist to discuss the impact of coronavirus, dispel the most common myths in the media about it, and explain how worried you actually need to be. WE NEED TO TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO ACTUAL EXPERTS AND FOCUS ON SCIENTIFIC FACT. This is imperative in a time of fear. Please take the time to listen to this talk. The talk is demonetized and I don't have a benefit of putting this up on Youtube. I just want the information out there. Vincent Racaniello, Ph.D. (@profvrr) is Higgins Professor of Microbiology & Immunology at Columbia University Medical Center. He has been studying viruses for over 40 years, starting in 1975, when he entered the Ph.D. program in Biomedical Sciences at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine of the City University of New York. His thesis research, in the laboratory of Dr. Peter Palese, was focussed on influenza viruses. In 1979 he joined the laboratory of Dr. David Baltimore at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for postdoctoral work on poliovirus. In 1982 Vincent joined the faculty in the Department of Microbiology at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York City.

The sheer reduction of poliomyelitis-ridden individuals is a testament to how effective the poliovirus vaccines are. Still, related viruses like rhinoviruses, coxsackieviruses, and enteroviruses cause significant burden to public health. What are picornaviruses? Why is there a need for researching viruses like EV-D68 and EV-A71? Let’s learn to be scientifically conversational. For all references and supplemental information, you can navigate to ascienceshow.com.  

Enteroviruses are the cause of a number of infections including hand, foot and mouth disease, the common cold and most recently, the condition called Acute flaccid myelitis or AFM. What are enteroviruses, particularly enterovirus D68, what do we know about them and what research is being done? Joining me to answer these questions about enteroviruses and more Vincent Racaniello, PhD, Dr Racaniello is a Professor of Microbiology & Immunology in the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University and a world renown virologist and science educator.

As many of you know, I've been doing a series on the podcast titled Parasites 101. I thought I'd something similar with virology and viruses and I reached out to who I feel is clearly one of the best virologists and virology educators to help me out with this. So here is the 1st episode of Virology 101 with Professor of Microbiology & Immunology in the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, Vincent Racaniello, PhD. Dr. Racaniello answers question like--What is a virus? Are viruses living organisms? and other similar topics in this episode.

Vincent Racaniello discusses how he ended up studying polio virus and the three eureka moments he’s experienced so far: uncovering the polio genome, discovering the polio receptor, and generating a mouse model of polio disease. Vincent discusses his interest in science communications, including his blog and active podcast network. Host: Julie Wolf Activities of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis in the Field of Virus Research (free) on iPhone, Android, RSS, or by email. You can also listen on your mobile device with the Microbeworld app. Julie's biggest takeaways: All three polio virus serotypes are covered by the polio vaccine; type 2 has been eradicated and type 3 is close to being eradicated. Enterovirus 68 is a related enteroviruses that is associated with paralysis, but its receptor and disease progression remain largely unknown. Developing tools and techniques to study one virus that can cross into the central nervous system, such as polio, can set up a lab to study other neurotropic viruses, such as enterovirus 68 and Zika virus. All scientists with access to a computer and a social media account can be effective science communicators! Featured Quotes: "You have to find people to be mentors who you are going to listen to, and if they give you advice, you follow it." (6:57) "It took me one year to sequence the genome of polio, which you could do in five minutes today." (9:52) "We work on infectious agents and a big part of it is to eradicate them and alleviate human disease." (20:32) "On facebook, you’ve lots of friends who are following you; if you show them science, some of them will listen to it." (33:30) "We all have to share what we do. We’re funded mostly by tax dollars, and we have to let the public know what we do."

Constructed in 2009 in the highly populated South End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) facility contains labs that operate at biosafety levels 2, 3 and 4. Due to its location the NEIDL has faced a raft of legal and regulatory hurdles that have prevented BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs from becoming functional. “Threading the NEIDL,” is a 1-hour documentary narrated by Vincent Racaniello, PhD, Higgins Professor of Microbiology & Immunology at Columbia University, which explores how the NEDIL is secured from unauthorized entry, what's like to wear a BSL-4 level safety suit, how the facility is constructed to make it safe, and how workers carry out experiments with highly dangerous viruses such as Ebola virus and Lassa virus without jeopardizing their health or that of the surrounding community. This is a never before seen look at how one of America's state of the art biodefense research facilities operates and the security measures put in place to keep it safe, even in the heart of a major urban center. This documentary was filmed in conjunction with the popular science podcast This Week in Virology, which is also hosted by Vincent Racaniello.
