So we are putting together the programme for Virus Genomics an Evolution 2021 (postponed from this year) - hopefully in person in September. Had a crazy idea of inviting Shi Zhengli from WIV. Probably zero chance she would come or be allowed to come but could be interesting. Anyone heard her talk? Or is it a really dumb idea?
