Description

Did you know that some of the bacteria living inside us are essential for our health? Gastroenterologist Ari Grinspan delves into the complex world of the microbiome in the human digestive system.

He explains how transplanting bacteria from healthy people to patients with a debilitating, sometimes lethal, disease has had astonishing success—despite a method of transfer that might be a little surprising. This SciCafe took place at the American Museum of Natural History on January 4, 2018.

To listen to the full lecture, including Q&A, download the podcast on our blog:

Or search for Science@AMNH on iTunes, Soundcloud, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Scicafe Series is proudly sponsored by Judy and Josh Weston.
