It’s been a nerve-wracking week here in Baltimore, but I wanted to quickly share a few good microbial related reads for the Fabulous Friday Feature(s). Grownups might enjoy the book Follow Your Gut: The Enormous Impact of Tiny Microbes (TED Books) by Rob Knight, leading microbiome researcher and head of the American Gut project, and Brendan Buhler. I’ve just started on my copy, but Maria Popova at Brain Pickings has done a nice review: “Our Microbes, Ourselves” that discusses in her usual insightful, creative, and interdisciplinary perspective.
