We all know that viruses cause disease but this week Dr Ben Bleasdale (#virusexpert) opens our ears to fossil viruses living in our DNA, the gifts that viruses have given us, and the gruesome realities of a zombie viruses! Parasites are actually way ahead of the game here, spot the suicidal grasshoppers and you'll see what I mean. We also extract DNA from a kiwi and bring our weekly science news to the table. This show is set to go viral! Experiment vine: https://vine.co/v/iZpWFdlvp3E #science #mixtape #experiment #live #radio #virus #retro #fossil #kiwi #DNA #zombie #parasites #research
