– Who Am I? –

I’m Vincent Racaniello, Earth’s Virology Professor, and I believe that education should be free.

I’m also a professor of virology at Columbia University in New York. I’ve been doing research on viruses since 1976, and teaching virology in classrooms and online since 1999. On this YouTube channel I share videos of my lectures, MicrobeTV podcasts, and more.

New videos are uploaded several times each week.

I do not run ads on our work as they are disruptive to learning. We depend on your support.
