Science in the News | A Gut Feeling: Microbes and their Outsized Impact

Do microbes make the best flavorings? Is your poop 
the key to curing diseases? Do we have free will, or
are we just controlled by the microbes that live inside 
of us? Within each of us, there is an entire world of 
bacteria and other microorganisms, the consequences 
of which we are only now beginning to understand. 
Join three Yale PhD students as they discuss some of 
the ways these microbes impact our daily lives, from 
the food we eat to the chemistry of our brains.
