American Society for Virology

 * ... that the American Society for Virology, the first independent scientific society specifically for virologists, was founded only 34 years ago?


 * Reviewed: Chants for Socialists
 * Comment: I may be the only one who thinks this is interesting ;) But the American bacteriologists got started in 1899! Maybe aim for June 9, the anniversary of the founding meeting?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, meets core content policies. Hook cited to RS and is also fascinating (admittedly a rarity for DYK). I love the edit summary! --Jakob (talk)  aka Jakec  20:24, 25 May 2015 (UTC)


 * You are right about the entertaining edit summary, is there an early virus sketch that could go with this...never mind I'll look myself...   Bfpage &#124;leave a message 01:38, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
