You can buy Ed's book "I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life" now - geni.us/j0l7Q9
Your body is teeming with tens of trillions of microbes. It’s an entire world, a colony full of life, a thriving ecosystem. These microscopic companions sculpt our organs, protect us from diseases, guide our behaviour, and bombard us with their genes. They also hold the key to understanding all life on earth.
Science writer Ed Yong explains how bacteria have shaped animal evolution and human health, why breastfeeding is about more than just babies, how animals can survive without mouths or guts, and why Australian scientists are fighting tropical diseases by releasing infected mosquitoes.

Ed Yong is a rock star of knowledge.

@jonrutherford6852 7 лет назад

One of the best presentations I've seen anywhere -- even from the RI. Simply wonderful in its lucidity, importance of subject matter, and timeliness. Six stars out of five!

@sterlingphoenix71 7 лет назад

mind blown! microphone dropped! life altered. I loved this talk. I'm like a new born adult that just wants to learn more, much more, much much more. thank you so much for this video. WOW!

@alopiaspelagicus1628 7 лет назад

That's science for you :) Most welcome!! I am a marine biologist, but microbiology has always fascinated me and the fact that they are so understudied and underrepresented.

@sterlingphoenix71 7 лет назад

Magdalena Moss, im going to put his book on my must have list. This is all new territory for me. I was blown away.

@MarkusJaeger-itguy 6 лет назад

that was impressive. Mr Yong did not use any notes and gave such a succinct and clear talk.

I've long been a fan of Ed Yong's science writing. It's my first time hearing him speak and it's wonderful to see his talent for making scientific knowledge accessible without flattening it the complexity that it describes. thank u

Revolutionary and much needed! I will share this one with others.

I read his books, follow his "The Atlantic" articles and am so glad I found this lecture on a book I read many years ago. Anything produced by Mr. Yong I want to know about. Good stuff!

Wow, this is a stunning presentation. My eyes have been opened! Thank you Ed Yong, and thank you Royal Institute.

Mr. Yong, you are an excellent lecturer. I am fascinated by this topic and you present it in an enjoyable and informative manner. Your analogies are delightful and enlightening.

Why would anyone give this a thumbs down?

@GordieEggleston 5 лет назад

Maybe it was his ears? Anyhow, I give thumbs up.

Love this informative stuff, day by day I'm learning/ being aware the importance of my microbiome and what they do for me and the benefits of the all.

Thank you for a wonderful and inspiring presentation. I want to know more !

@csh2155 7 лет назад

Great talk, thanks a lot. Eloquently put and packed full of information. Having looked after patients with Crohn's and UC, I was not at all surprised to hear that bacteria could be part of the problem as well as the solution.

@CaptainManic2010 7 лет назад

Just wonderful knowledge

@theflyingfool 7 лет назад

That was a very interesting and clear exposition. Many thanks! I can now go back to my patients with renewed vigour and enthusiasm for encouraging them to eat more than their "five a day".

One more time, WOW, WOW WOW!!!

@SNAFUPhoenix 5 лет назад

if we eat enough bed bugs can we use their walbacheia bacteria to make b-12 in our upper gastrointestinal population?

@GordieEggleston 5 лет назад

Has testing been done to determine whether these multitude of microbes are alive within pre-born humans (zygote, embryo, fetus) so as to rule out the proposition that their occurrence within infants comes only after birth (due to environment versus evolution)? 12:33

His shirt looks like TV static when he is moving and you watch the video via the thumbnail in the taskbar.

@Wrugoin13 7 лет назад

Wonderful talk. Thank you. I hope all your audience wasn't as disrespectful as the woman stage right who browsed her phone the entire presentation.

@GordieEggleston 5 лет назад

She is destined to become an educated idiot.

@BatteryExhausted 5 лет назад

Maybe she is deaf and the phone is a speech to text ap. so she can follow along. Who are we to judge?

@krunalsangani48 4 года назад

Reading the book. Can't put it down...Microbiology should be the sexiest subjects one must aspire to learn. No matter what profession one practices. Know yourself. Microbiologically.

@elumiomerk4013 2 года назад

30:01 hehehe good one.

reminds me of a milton jones joke, my girlfriend offered me champagne, turned out to be real pain.

@Therealma 7 лет назад

Why is isn't there more information about this?

@audenbrummer9210 3 года назад

He has a book called “I Contain Multitudes” that goes very in depth with the subject

i like very much the work of Ed Young . BUT ; didn't you, Mr. Yong, explain to us that Wolbacia lived in 40% of the insects around the world and that it took nearly 30 years to get Wolbacia to live inside this specific mosquito ? ( Yes ) You then follow this with news (to us) of conducting massive experiments in densely populated cities across the globe ,with this Wolbasquito ,then proceed to assure everyone that wolbacia doesn't live or "infect" human-beings and that it only lives in this specific mosquito. I take issue with that . That is all:
