By popular demand, an entire episode dedicated to exploring the
microbiome! Are you really 90% bacteria and 10% human? How can
you manage or optimize your own microbiome? Should we do
fecal-matter transplants from "untouched" indigenous tribes to
reverse chronic illness? We tackle all this and much more.
Jessica Richman is co-founder and CEO of uBiome, a startup
backed by Y Combinator and Andreesen Horowitz, which uses citizen
science to understand the human microbiome. Jessica attended
Stanford University, where she earned degrees in economics and
interdisciplinary engineering. She then got a fellowship to
Oxford University for her PhD in computational social science.
Her work has been featured in Wired, Popular Science, MIT
Technology Review, NYT, and dozens of other media outlets.
Jonathan Eisen is a Full Professor at the University of
California, Davis with appointments in the School of Medicine and
the College of Biological Sciences. Dr. Eisen’s research focuses
on the evolution, ecology and function of communities of
microorganisms. His study systems have included boiling acid
pools, surface ocean waters, buildings, agents of many diseases,
and the microbial ecosystems (also known as microbiomes) that are
found living in and on plants and animals. In addition to
his research, Dr. Eisen is a vocal advocate for “open science”
especially “open access” to scientific publications. He
earned a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from Stanford University
and an A.B. in Biology from Harvard College.
