Books:
A Study in Scarlet: my first Sherlock Holmes story and it is the novel that introduced Watson. I was surprised at how good this was and the unexpected turn it took building a history around a Mormon character.
White Fang by Jack London. Again, an old book but quite well written with love and devotion to this history of a Wolf/dog hybrid.
Going Infinite by Michael Lewis. This is the story of Sam Bankman-Fried who is in jail over his work with bitcoin among other financial adventures. I still can’t tell you what bit- coin is…….and neither could Michael Lewis.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/08/opinion/covid-fauci-hearings-health.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb. Again, from the NYT and article about the Covid Response and Trust in Public Health and Government in General.
PodCasts: TWIV (This Week in Virology) # 1121 June 8—This finds a group of virologists who have been following the science of the Covid epidemic since day #1 discussing the editorial in the NYT from early this month suggesting that Covid came from a lab leak in China. The title of this podcast refutes that assertion in detail and is worth a listen: SARS-CoV2 did not come from a lab………
