I love the animation! I especially loved when the little bacteria riding the other bacteria-with a war cry-charged bravely into battle. Epic! A great dramatization of the ceaseless work our body does to protect us against all the shit we fill ourselves with.
I really like this concept of edutainment, it really helps put these complex ideas into a more digestible form of understanding. Excellent for people of all ages.
This is amazing. I learned a lot, and I'm so happy that there are outlets making cutting-edge science understandable for the general public - even children. Such nice animation, and what a creative way to interpret it too!
Bravo! Encore!! A+++ So why are people silent on the likes? Possibly because we still don't want to know that we have 17 trillion creepy crawly invisible things all over us? Oh well, medicine has not always been "tasty". And this piece presents an unsavory subject in just the right amount of comic realism. PS: We are working on a "polymicrobial bacteriostat" an antibiotic that equally stops all species of bacteria from growing, even superbugs, and does this across the board according to their species. Thus, the microbiome is preserved without killing all of anything and the bad bugs are capped from growing into infection. So far so good. As we complete our research we will need some "infotainment" as the information cannot be understood without an awareness of the details to set up the story. John Matlick
John, how are you doing these days? I just found out about this video... it explains a great deal. When you say 'we' as in completing 'our' research, do you mean you are a microbiologist or?? I appreciate your comment and hope you're still hanging around TH-cam.
@@martywilsonlifeno, he's not. He's just wanting to insinuate that he is for the attention. Whatever he used to do (doubt very much that it was microbiology), he's long since retired now.
when man understands himself he shall understand the universe this is so precious and i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! supporting the revolution - taking back my Self
The 100,000,000,000,000 microbial cells and 10,000,000,000,000 human cells fun fact is a very loose estimate, I heard somewhere that it was more like 35,000,000,000,000 human cells and 40,000,000,000,000 microbe cells (except for after you pooped).
It is closer to 3X as many bacteria as our cells. A student of mine showed me the original source where the authors suggested it MIGHT be 10x. This became known by us scientists and teachers as fact. More recent data suggest their numbers are much lower.
The microbiome will change the way we treat disease and most important PREVENT disease. Since this video came out research has revealed that the health of our microbiome can help with weight loss, energy and overall health. It's fascinating! It has inspired me to write a book. Eliminating toxins and eating real, wholesome foods can keep your microbiome healthy.
Love, love, love this! .. very informative. Could make a cool TV show.... as"Reboot!" is to the internet, "The Invisible Universe" is to the body. Cheers
Unfortunately the other threats to the git flora are? Foreign bacteriophages(can be scientifically called flora deficiency viruses or flora deficiency bacteriophages) and other gut flora harming pathogens, Some pollutants(including some pesticides can harm your gut flora). And many more?
I WAS ASSIGNED TO WATCH THIS FOR HOMEWORK BUT ITS ACTUALLY SO CUTE THAT IM ENJOYING IT
me too lol
Me too
sameee
Wow...7 year old video and I'm just watching it as a part of homework as well! What are ya'll studying? Homeopath in training here! n.n
Same
I nearly stood up and clapped to that video. Very very very well done. It was awesome! Subbed
Matsimus
This is cursed compared to that I was watching it for school and this comment showed up....
except for the false fact they opened the video with :,)
Absolutely brilliant video - don't know why but child-like animations always make science more fun. Thanks, NPR,

Art and science - a very beautiful animation about the human microbiome. Very much worth your 5 minutes :)
Woow this was the best animation I ever saw on microbiome... thank you!
I have the flu and when I watched this, I felt 10 times better for some reason
Placebo
Wonderful images. Scientifically accurate. Just the new kind of education we all need to learn.
Excellent graphic illustration to simplify the comprehension of just one small area that reveals the complexity of 'life'.
This is amazing. I learned a lot, and I'm so happy that there are outlets making cutting-edge science understandable for the general public - even children. Such nice animation, and what a creative way to interpret it too!
We are more connected to the universe than previously theorized and we are not separate or above anything else than once believed.
I LOVE this animation! Beautifully done, congratulations!
When I grow up, I wanna be a microbe in the human gut

Wot de hoek
YoAddicts teah so cool i wanna be a fighter
ok but lets be friends
you ask Rick to do that
Not only was it legit, it was enjoyable to watch. Good work, great for kids too.
Beautifully animated!!! If all biology topics were taught in the form of TH-cam animations, everyone would want to major in biology!
Wow! The tiny universe within each of us that determines our level of health . So well done!! Thank you!! 🎉
now if microbiology were only taught like this in class, I wouldnt have gottan a C ;)
This video, luckily, is homework in my current Micro class.
@@justice5408 same
This is the best animation I have ever seen, Sooo good! Thank you. Please keep making biology interesting & fun.
Wow, something actually good from NPR
this is some osmosis jones type shit lol
I use this video to help educate patients as well as to my college Medical Anatomy and Physiology classes, as a link. Great work.
What a beautiful video of Microbiology 101. Something that some MD had forgotten these days. I wish it would be available in Spanish also.
This was so adorable!! I'd watch these animations all the time!
This was absolutely fantastic, my son loved it. Thank you!
This deserves more views.
Benjamin Arthur, thank you for this lovely animation!
Thanks to everyone for making this video!
4:18 Aww that little guy is so cute!
beautiful illustration of what the human microbiome actually is!
An excellent explanation of the subject. And quite entertaining to view, in fact.
Thank you Benjamin Arthur for such a great animation!
I was assigned this for homework im lowkey enjoying this.
Adorable, beautiful illustrations/animation! Worked perfectly with the audio.
I absolutely love the cartoon! What an adorable whimsical world with prehistoric vibes!
Bravo! Encore!! A+++

I cant believe how good this video is
Wonderful documentry
That beam of destruction from the good microbe was epic. Great art and animation.
Benjamin Arthur you legend.
This is a wonderful teaching tool. Excellent
when man understands himself he shall understand the universe
this is so precious and i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
supporting the revolution - taking back my Self
Cant thank enough for this video. I have incorporated it in my lecture.
Absolutely amazing to see that inspiring and beautifully created!
Kudos to the artist... Love those animations. ❤️
Whoever made this video deserves a medal
is there an Academy Award for the best short film of the educative nature?
Everyone should see this!
Beautiful :)
Great job NPR ;) Very nice summary of the field.
and epic as well! :)
The animation in this video made it a lot of fun to watch. hopefully there are more in the pipeline like it.
Absolutely loved this work, and have already forwarded it to several of my contacts.
This looks and sounds like a Ted-Ed but waaay better.
Keep up the good work!

i just came back here because this is the first video that i watched in youtube and the presentation is beautiful. 😄😄👏👏👏
Amazing visual and audio explanation.
This is the neatest thing! My biology teacher showed me this in class the other day.
Aw man what an awesome way to help us think of our microbes! :D
It is closer to 3X as many bacteria as our cells. A student of mine showed me the original source where the authors suggested it MIGHT be 10x. This became known by us scientists and teachers as fact. More recent data suggest their numbers are much lower.
Love the animation! very educational and fun to watch :)
Amazing work!!!
Friends, this is why masking and hand sanitizing is not good for us!
Beautiful and educational video
This video is fantastic on so many levels! Thank you so much for the upload
Well done..The best video ive ever seen about our gut flora.
It tell the sad truth about everything.
OMG..this video is too good..LOVE it! Thanks!!!
Adorable animations and really got your point across.
That was wonderful. Very informative.... makes me understand a few of the ideas better.
Informative, creative, and beautiful.
Pretty cool character designs!
great animation
this the best video on microbiomes I've seen
but who is narrating this video
Does NPR own the rights to this video? Who should I speak to to request permission to use it on my website? Thank you.
Beautiful and very clear
I love this!
WHATS UP MS. V STUDENTS!!!!!
Cartoons are still fun! Bacteria wins!!! Eat your fermented foods and let the ecosystem thrive!
4:17 Makes me want to take prebiotics by the bottle
That was a lovely presentation, thank you.

Did you write that book?
Cutest visual of intestines I've ever seen!
Very Awesome video! Keep em coming!
AWESOME explanation!
Good information on microboime importance.
The gut microbiota is now considered one of the most complex microbial ecosystems on earth. Kresser bit.ly/1ewruSy
Nicely done!
Amazing
Thank you. I really enjoyed watching this video.🙏🌿
That was an adorable animation :33
Love, love, love this! .. very informative. Could make a cool TV show.... as"Reboot!" is to the internet, "The Invisible Universe" is to the body. Cheers
Really Wonderful!!

so great! I loved this
"Osmosis Jones II: Bacteria Affirmative Action-Now!" our heroes team up with the good microbes and the happy fungi band! Could also be a musical?
Excellent video
perfect and well done
Great video, love the animation!
What a great video! Thank you very much!
I loved the animation :)) This video was amazing!
amazing and educational
I don't know why it gives me goosebumps
Excellent!
Splendid video
