If you want to get an excellent understanding of viruses and infections, without needing to go through university, for your own enjoyment of growing and sharing knowledge.
This is my recommendation:
1) Complete the youtube university lecture series `Virology' by Vincent Racaniello. 25 lectures, he uploads to not only teach his class but teach the public for free.

Recommended prereq: 1000 level bio ― introduction to biology.

2) Write 2x 2500±10% word essays, each one on a separate virus. E.g., SARS-CoV-2 and HIV, or Novovirus and Influenza Virus, etc.
Use at minimum 15 peer-reviewed articles references.
Use appropriate scientific language and terminology. Generally passive and impersonal writing.
Absolutely write this without using AI/LLMs, Grammarly, or the like. Consider the use of AI/Grammarly/etc as automatic academic failure.
