From Vincent Racaniello’s Virology Blog this morning, we get a rare inside look – via an hour-long video – at the inside of Boston’s NIEDL (National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories), a BSL-2, BSL-3, and BSL-4 facility.

 

Vince’s blog explains how he, and his TWiV podcast teamed up with MicrobeWorld  and Boston University to produce this video showcasing the security measures used when working with the world’s most dangerous pathogens.

 

Watch this fascinating video on Vince’s blog, or on MicrobeWorld video portal on Vimeo.
