S07:E06, “Microbiome” Edition, with Ed Yong (video)

Posted by jnshaumeyer on 7 August 2016

Streamed live on 4 August 2016.

Our guest for today’s program about all the tiniest creatures in the world was Ed Yong, with whom we talk about his highly praised new book, I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life. The multitudes within gave us a multitude of things to talk about, from bad microbes to good microbes and everything in between, but our hour was just too short to cover it all, so reading Ed’s book is a must. We guarantee that you will come away with a “grander view of life”.
