It looks like the HIV paper is available only with a journal subscription.
Yes, unfortunately that is true. But Dr. Collins will be on TWiV #133
to discuss the paper.
do you have any TWiv discussing HIV-1 virology and life cycle?! please
No, we haven’t fully discussed HIV-1 replication on TWiV. You could
try my virology course lecture, which is at
http://microbiology.columbia.edu/W3310/018_W3310_10.mp4 – it’s a
videocast.
I love the essay by Lewis Thomas “On Warts”… Thanks Rich — War on Warts, a Conquest of Warts, a National Institute of Warts and All!!
