Where in the world did you get that skull of the crab-eating monkey? Thanks for taking the time to join us all here!

Are you still in contact with Jerry and Nancy Jaax, the now-retired Army veterinarians who were featured in The Hot Zone?

I'm a vet in the military now and attribute much of my career path to the inspiration you provided through their stories.

Awesome!

Good stuff, thanks. I think Jerry might still be on the faculty at K-State's vet school also. Would love to meet them someday. I'm starting a new job this week in the special operations community, but seriously considering doing either a lab animal or pathology residency after this.

The U.S. and Russia still maintain their stores of smallpox. There was an interesting story just a few weeks ago about some new smallpox samples found in an old lab in the D.C. area: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/fda-found-more-than-smallpox-vials-in-storage-room/2014/07/16/850d4b12-0d22-11e4-8341-b8072b1e7348_story.html
