Congratulations, Professor Vincent Ricaniello. Thank you for the kindness of sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you so much for making a better world.
Bravo Vincent! What an honor. One positive thing about this pandemic is that I discovered you on TH-cam and watch your shows each week. Congratulations!
Dr. Racaniello. Once again you've done an outstanding job with your lecture. I feel quite privileged to have become "acquainted" with your previous and ongoing work. I share your podcasts consistently with many and rely on it in my teaching of nursing at the University of Utah. You so deserve this award! I only go to you and your colleagues for ALL virology issues. As I sit here experiencing COVID for the first time (fully vaccinated x 3) I am not too worried. Mild symptoms so far and fully cognizant of what to look for in my immunocompromised and currently ill with COVID husband. Glad to have had your extensive education and information.
I’m so proud and happy for Vincent. One of my new heroes and one of the few positive things that came out of the otherwise horrible and never ending Covid experience.
Vincent should by all means receive the science communicator award of the decade. No one person has done more to bring people together across fields and age groups, many folks have made a difference but Vincent is an exceptional example of making a difference.
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU, VINCENT RACANIELLO!!! I feel like a member of my own family got this wonderful award! Kudos and affection from an avid twiv listener for two years.
This is a great lecture that actively demonstrates effective science communication from the big picture to the nitty gritty details. Congratulations Vincent!
Congratulations Vincent! It brought tears to my eyes to see you recognized so far away after watching so many of your TWi's the last two years! Great title for your talk! Reminds me of the "I fell in love with worms" TWiV epitope!
Dr. Vincent makes me happy. I finally found someone who makes sense in all this, the last year has been wonderful being able to be part of that channel. TWIV is great -all the scientists are just fabulous☮️
Great lecture and panel. The first time I was exposed to TWIV was studying the debate on dual use H1N1 (if I recall) research in ferrets for undergraduate virology course and here we are a decade later still defending the "scary" gain of function studies. Kudos to Dr. VR and colleagues for tirelessly speaking the science.
my man!! thanks for posting this video Dr. V! I've watched lots of your content, TWI* episodes, Q&A, your YT course, clinical updates, etc.. first time I've watched your freeform presentation style and it was wonderful! kudos to you and the crew for the award and the continued efforts to drill this info into our heads. See you this evening for Q&A with A & V!
Vincent definitely doesn't get as much of a public voice as he should and it's, as he said, because he's not an alarmist. He's not willing to say things that aren't true in order to get an audience. The irony is..that's why people SHOULD listen to him.
@@jeffalexander5842 I think the U.S. response could have benefitted from a more precautionary principle kind of fear of SARS-CoV-2. Or just some humility.
Vincent on brilliant form here! Congratulations… & all delivered with no notes. He knows and understands his stuff. Yes, improving our knowledge of science in his every word. Big thanks from an old TWiVer. Hope this gets very wide coverage and all those thousands of followers catch it. We need to pay attention to ‘experts’ again.
Excellent presentation . Congradulations. I love how you can bridge both the science language and main stream. I really appreciate you taking the time to teach us lay people. That is an extra special skill. I have never felt stupid learning from you, even it I didn't always understand. So glad you are not lost in your head and connect with everyone. You make science fun, interesting and applicable to every day life. You kept me grounded during this pandemic. I have great respect for you.
Wow! This is fantastic! I've followed the TWiV podcast when it was audio only (recommended by XM110 Dr Radio) and it's now on video, making it even more interesting. Prof Racaniello is easy to listen to and inspires us to continue watching. He has become my "Neil deGrasse Tyson" of virology. He truly deserves this honor. You can see his passion for teaching. I am a continuing fan as my Dad suffers from the lasting effects of polio and I appreciate his research.
👍👍👍👍👍Bravo!!! Earth's Virology Professor!!! ( My Professor!!🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘) ❤❤❤❤❤Congrats 👏 Amazing speech!!! You are truly a gifted Professor and Scientist. It is a rare thing to be so talented in both!! I'm so glad I found you !!!!!❤🥰❤❤❤❤❤
This is what I would post on videos that would go on about how dangerous "gain of function" research is. I got what I would consider to be bad faith attacks because if it. Science is hard. Jumping to conclusions is easy. Understanding the jargon they use is part of what makes it so hard to understand. It sounds like a foreign language because most of it is, it's Latin. Even plain English terms can be misleading. "Gain of function" is one of them. During a pandemic its easy to see how people would think that "gain of function" would mean gain in mortality or ease of transmission. It does not, the function gained can be anything. Even something that is not harmful to humans can be called a gain of function. It just has to be something it could not do before. Part of the reason you do gain of function research is to try to understand the probability of a specific virus becoming more or less dangerous to humans. Understanding that can help people decide where to put funds for the development of treatments to fight possible emerging viral infections. You don't want to put money into researching treatments for a virus that has little chance of becoming a danger to humans OR livestock. "Gain of function" sounds scary and this is not the first time it's been used to cause fear in those who don't understand virology. Jumping to conclusions is easy. Science is hard.
May I ask your expert statement about use of face mask in outdoors in a tropical country like the Philippines where mask mandates have not been lifted even with less than 200 covid cases a day and 70% double vaxxed.
For that resistant 20% they are emotionally driven and motivation comes from a different space. So replying just with logic won,t work. They may be scared, frightened by previous experience. They may be driven by status, why they hold to their viewpoints, insecurity in their lives. Angered by partial knowledge of previous things going very wrong. They require a lot of listening … very different sets of skills….. whatever you do must not take opposing sides. Stay very calm but also support their listening…..
Wow 36 Likes, got to be kidding folks. Vincent you and your team are Legend, it has been a privilege to listen to you all and learn what we do and do not know. Thanks you for your generosity. I have gone right back to the beginning and I'm now on epitope Twiv 101: Sizing up adenovirus. Hoping to get to NY in July and given half a chance I will drag the family to the Incubator, to be fair if I get them to the bagel store I will have done well. This award has been so well deserved Vincent, if you were a Brit you would be a Sir by now.
Congratulations, Professor Vincent Ricaniello. Thank you for the kindness of sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you so much for making a better world.
Bravo Vincent! What an honor. One positive thing about this pandemic is that I discovered you on TH-cam and watch your shows each week. Congratulations!
Hi Liz, same here actually. Ironically, I didn't know about Vincent until deciding to watch a Lex Fridman episode featuring the famous virologist!!
I'm a huge fan of TWIV....

Brillant. Congratulations Dr. Racaniello. I am an avid TWiV watcher, and I am so proud of Vincent's accomplishments.
V begins to feel like family after months of following him gratefully on TWiV. Bravo Vincent. It is very good to see him appreciated.
Love TWIV ....Look forward to his pods.
Congratulations Vincent! Well deserved recognition for all the great work you do.

Caro Vincenzo, we’re all incredibly proud of you 👏🏼
Complimenti, Professore dott.! Well deserved. You’re truly a legend.
A fanfare for Vincent.
Discovering TWIV and the rest of the stable has been a rare bright spot among the pandemic gloom.
Bravo!
Congratulations, Vincent!
It is people like you who make the world a better place. Thank you for your dedication to science and education.
Dr. Vincent makes me happy. I finally found someone who makes sense in all this, the last year has been wonderful being able to be part of that channel. TWIV is great -all the scientists are just fabulous☮️
I love the horn quartet! My favorite brass instrument! ‼️‼️💛💛

Nice Professor Racanielo you deserve it been follow you since 2017

I think we should stop fearmongering about how bad fear is.
Or fearmongering about fearmongering about fear
Sorry it's the natural parent instinct in me
@@jeffalexander5842 I think the U.S. response could have benefitted from a more precautionary principle kind of fear of SARS-CoV-2. Or just some humility.
Oh it could have been better in a lot of areas.
Very well deserved glad to get the chance to listen to this Vincent 👏
Superb lecture !! I really enjoyed this Vince. Congratulations on receiving the Ernst Medal.
What a beautiful opening with French horns playing.
I am so happy for you Vincent, you really deserve this medal and more like this.

Congratulations Vincent for this well deserved medal. Keep doing what you are doing and people will follow!
Well deserved! Congrats! (Big fan of the TWIV series - helped me tons during the pandemic!)
Yay! Well deserved. I discovered TWIV and have become a devoted fan. I love your manner and your smile
Yes. He seems to really like us, people out there who want to hear the good stuff. He does not mind how clever or educated we are or are not.
You are our virology rockstar! Congratulations 🎉
He's the Elton John of germs.
Well done…you know how to deliver a great lecture!

Fantastic lecture! I've shared it on Facebook & Twitter, noting the "rational and accurate facts about Covid" at the end.
Bravo, Bravo!!! We’ll deserved Prof V! Congratulations 🏅
You are awesome Dr Racaniello

Felicidades profesor!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Congratulations from Berlin! Your TWiV was of invaluable help during the pandemic. Thank you :)
Thank you for posting this! Enjoy Memorial Day weekend if you’re headed to the NJ shore! Kathleen
It is nice to see recognition where it is due...
This is so great!! 👍
And you’re adorable ☺️ ❤️
Beautufull lecture. Thank You!
Congrats on your recognition

Alina Chan is a scientist who should have input here.
Thank goodness for spelling out no need for those boosters - not a sensible public health strategy!
