Got contacted by a guy called Jon Gertner at NYT who is writing an article about the golden years of virus gen epi and the Oxford group - apparently he has talked to you Eddie. Is interested in all the conversations at the Turf.

The Turf Tavern is/was a great pub. Close to Zoology. I've not been there for years.
