Microbial Cartography: Exploring the World in Your Poop

Please note you are looking at an event that has already happened.

Event Details

Our guts are home to the microbiome, ecosystem of trillions of organisms that shape our health. A relationship between our bacterial symbionts and our health is still being uncovered. Through the American Gut Project, a citizen science effort, we are building a map of microbial communities and the factors that shape them to better understand our health.
