    Your body is teeming with tens of trillions of microbes. It’s an entire world, a colony full of life, a thriving ecosystem. These microscopic companions sculpt our organs, protect us from diseases, guide our behaviour, and bombard us with their genes. They also hold the key to understanding all life on earth.
    Science writer Ed Yong explains how bacteria have shaped animal evolution and human health, why breastfeeding is about more than just babies, how animals can survive without mouths or guts, and why Australian scientists are fighting tropical diseases by releasing infected mosquitoes.

    One of the best presentations I've seen anywhere -- even from the RI. Simply wonderful in its lucidity, importance of subject matter, and timeliness. Six stars out of five!

      That's science for you :) Most welcome!! I am a marine biologist, but microbiology has always fascinated me and the fact that they are so understudied and underrepresented.

    I've long been a fan of Ed Yong's science writing. It's my first time hearing him speak and it's wonderful to see his talent for making scientific knowledge accessible without flattening it the complexity that it describes. thank u

    Great talk, thanks a lot. Eloquently put and packed full of information. Having looked after patients with Crohn's and UC, I was not at all surprised to hear that bacteria could be part of the problem as well as the solution.

    if we eat enough bed bugs can we use their walbacheia bacteria to make b-12 in our upper gastrointestinal population?

  • @GordieEggleston
    @GordieEggleston 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Has testing been done to determine whether these multitude of microbes are alive within pre-born humans (zygote, embryo, fetus) so as to rule out the proposition that their occurrence within infants comes only after birth (due to environment versus evolution)? 12:33

    Reading the book. Can't put it down...Microbiology should be the sexiest subjects one must aspire to learn. No matter what profession one practices. Know yourself. Microbiologically.

    i like very much the work of Ed Young . BUT ; didn't you, Mr. Yong, explain to us that Wolbacia lived in 40% of the insects around the world and that it took nearly 30 years to get Wolbacia to live inside this specific mosquito ? ( Yes ) You then follow this with news (to us) of conducting massive experiments in densely populated cities across the globe ,with this Wolbasquito ,then proceed to assure everyone that wolbacia doesn't live or "infect" human-beings and that it only lives in this specific mosquito. I take issue with that . That is all:
