Automatically move to the next video in the Classroom when playback concludes

  1. 1 Intro
  2. 2 Virology has had a phenomenal impact on biological discovery
  3. 3 A successful modern virologist must know a little about everything!
  4. 4 Virologists Have Job Security.... Viruses are a deep part of the planet's ecosystem - they are everywhere life exists
  5. 5 Virus ecology: our ignorance has been remarkable - consider new data on virus particles in the oceans.
  6. 6 Another Surprise: Virus particles are supposed to be very small: A "girus", a giant virus particle
  7. 7 Even larger virus particles are out there (the megaviruses)
  8. 8 An astonishing diversity of viruses awaits discovery Look at these wasp virus particles
  9. 9 Wasp virus particles consist of several nucleocapsids surrounded by two envelopes
  10. 10 What next in Virology? Certainly there will be new technology Technology opens new vistas
  11. 11 Viral DNA technology has revolutionized epidemiology
  12. 12 Host Genetics: We are finding differences in individual genomes that make them more or less susceptible to viral infections.
  13. 13 In the past, identifying pathogens has been difficult and slow
  14. 14 An example of technology opening new vistas: Pathogen discovery by sequencing the fecal virome
  15. 15 The identification of new viruses brings a serious challenge
  16. 16 Our intestinal microflora (the microbiome) are essential for our health and limit the colonization of pathogenic bacteria
  17. 17 A systems approach to virology
  18. 18 The fundamental premise of "holistic virology": Systems Virology
  19. 19 Future studies of viral pathogenesis will reveal specific viral slanatures of network imbalance
  20. 20 Other new technologies are coming quickly to fill out the premise of systems virology
  21. 21 Coupling new technology with established procedures
  22. 22 Major questions facing virologists
  23. 23 Public need and support will continue to drive virology's future
  24. 24 Scientists must make it clear that economic stability is interwoven with scientific progress
  25. 25 Training virologists for the future
  26. 26 Interdisciplinary team work is powerful
  27. 27 Look at virology discovery history: all those Nobel Prizes...
  28. 28 THE CRYSTAL BALL
  29. 29 The obvious drivers of virology research in the next decade
  30. 30 We are at a seminal moment in the conduct of the life sciences
  31. 31 The future of journals and traditional publications is not clear. Scientific communication is changing
  32. 32 One thing is certain: The basic biology of viruses, even those that today may not seem relevant to human, animal, and plant disease, must be studied.
