Hi Andrew. We have actually just fixed this as of this weekend. Please let me know if you don't see any improvement. You can also try to unsubscribe and resubscribe in iTunes to see if that helps as well. Thanks for the feedback.
hello
I enjoy these podcasts, when I can download them;
some of them seem to download impossibly slowly - this is one of them
;
please can you look into this;
look forward to listening;
thanks,
Andrew
This is an incredibly frank and lucid discussion of the past and current vaccine program for malaria. Professor Sherman has devoted his research career to malaria and is unafraid to critically assess the current lack of balance in dealing with control of malaria.
Dr. Worobey mentioned routine male neonatal circumcision "overall reduces the transmission of the virus quite a lot." I think his information was mixed with promoting safer sex practices; like condom use which squash ANY insignificant benefit that routinely mutilating either sex before an age of conscious consent would bring.
If not having a foreskin had ANY benefit to mammals of ANY kind we would see more then two species of mammals without them.
It is always so refreshing to hear a scientist say that they don't understand how something works, yet! Perhaps you should put the name of her new children's book in the printed section somewhere - Living Sunlight: How Plants Bring The Earth To Life
This is a fascinating podcast. Prof. Bray game an enormous amount of information. I wonder if he covered his whole book. This must have terrific for you, Carl, since he talked about E. coli.
