Science Beyond The Laboratory
Understanding that the World Wide Web is a primary scientific tool, Racaniello is one of the co-creators of BioCrowd, a social network designed to bring together scientists of all disciplines. Racaniello's virology blog, and net-casts 'This Week in Virology','This Week in Parasitism' with colleague Dickson Despommier and 'This Week in Microbiology" with Michael Schmidt and Elio Schaechter also unify science with technology. His blog, net-casts, specialized pages on 'influenza 101' and virology 101 are meant to bring microbiology to non-scientists. Continuing to bring virology to those outside of the field, Racaniello has established a library containing podcasts of lectures he has recently given at Columbia University.
