 Click this link  http://vimeo.com/39483400   to hear a very interesting virology discussion that took place recently at the Society of General Microbiology Meeting in the National Convention Centre Dublin.  One of the topics is H5N1 and concerns the recent "controversial experiments" carried out by Ron Fouchier and his team. Ron attended the meeting and is on the discussion panel in the video explaining his work.  The link to his paper which he was forced to censor is http://www.sciencemag.org/content/335/6069/662. 

An Interesting Case Meeting space has been added to Moodle so if you missed the presentations from 22nd March you can now view presentation files on Moodle.

There is also a discussion forum available if you need clarification on any of the topics.
