It is not often that the VCU Unique Pathogens Unit is visited by the Governor.

Governor Terry McAuliffe (D) of Virginia paid us a visit this week. The NBC news clip can be watched here.

In a 40 minute visit, we covered a lot a ground, including the rapid evolution of our Unique Pathogens Unit, the model on which it is staffed and even some of the particulars of donning and doffing the personal protective equipment.
