Forget the hype cycle. These are the concepts that make microbiome claims easier to read: habitat, function, resilience, causality, and the limits of a single sample.
What antibiotic resistance teaches us about the world
Antibiotic resistance is a lesson in evolution, networks, incentives and shared vulnerability—and a test of whether institutions can act across borders.
What the blood-brain barrier teaches us about the world
The BBB is a compact lesson in boundaries: protection needs exchange, systems are made of relationships, and every measurement has a context.
What the human microbiome teaches us about the world
The microbiome is a lesson in ecology, measurement, cooperation, and scale: human life is not an isolated machine but a negotiated system embedded in larger networks.
How the human microbiome works
A practical tour of the ecosystems on us and in us: who lives there, what they do, and why context matters more than a simple good-bacteria/bad-bacteria story.
