Oh, now I'm nervous

Because of my reputation as a The Virologist on our floor, the TA for Adv Virology Lab asked me to come and lead a day on SV40, which is the virus I study. I agreed, because I can confidently say I know more about SV40 then anyone else in the class. I marintated in the idea- what would I want them to get out of it, how would I get it all to work together, what would be a valuable activity for them? The activity came together nicely, just a chance for them to try their hand at something I've done a lot of, and I figured I'd fill in the lecture stuff later.

Well.... It's later now. I am giving this lecture tomorrow morning, and I am feeling desperate to convey- what is the most interesting thing about my research? What do I do that is cool? What do I do that I could tell graduating seniors about?? When I get this polished off, I am going to start right into my talk for next week for the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. I'll never put off another speaking engagement again!
