Throwback Thursday: Research and Other Hobbies

Posted by   Virus Bulletin on   May 21, 2015

This Throwback Thursday we reflect on the life of one of industry's greats, who sadly passed away this week: Prof. Klaus Brunnstein.

We were greatly saddened to learn of his death yesterday, and in honour of a man who contributed so much to the industry, we decided to take another look at an interview with Prof. Brunnstein — in April 1996, VB spoke to him about his background, his career, his views and his home life.
