I teach a freshman writing course at the University of Puget Sound, focusing on symbioses and parasitism. We are fortunate to have scientists and science writers "televisit" our course from time to time. Today, Dr. Patrick Schloss of the University of Michigan will discuss the microbiome, obesity, and human health with my students. Enjoy!
