Gut feelings: The secrets of the human gut microbiome
Aina Martinez (Graduate Student, UCLA)
The human gut microbiome is a fascinating community of hundreds of species that live in our guts. In the last few decades, scientists have come to understand that the bacteria in our guts play essential roles for the health of their hosts (us!) and impact our well being from the moment we are born. In this talk, you will discover where our microbiomes come from, what scientists have learned about them in the last ten years, and how investigators today study the little bugs in your gut.
