Description: Science in the Public Health

Did you know that your body has 10 times more microbial cells than human cells? While bacteria have historically been associated with illness and disease, they are also integral to your health. The microbial ecosystem in the human body is not fixed but can be influenced by diet, obesity, and other factors, such as antibiotic use or abuse. Current research seeks to characterize our resident bacteria. This forum will present an overview of the fascinating roles of bacteria in human health.

This training is recommended for ESA Credit.
