Professor Curtis Suttle interviewed in the CBC radio show North by Northwest

Dr. Curtis Suttle (FRSC, Distinguished University Scholar) is a professor in the Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Suttle was recently interviewed in the CBC radio show North by Northwest and discussed his research on how viruses are essential to our existence. 

Research in the Suttle laboratory is primarily focused on viruses and their role in the environment. The work ranges from the characterization of viruses isolated from the environment to quantifying the role of viruses in microbial mortality and nutrient cycling. The techniques employed range from nucleic-acid sequencing to oceanographic sampling. Some current projects are examining viruses and their roles in the oceans, high Arctic, deep mines, aeolian dust, lakes and migratory-bird ponds.
