Ed Yong & I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life (Oxford Skeptics in the Pub)

Every animal, whether human, squid, or wasp, is home to millions of bacteria and other microbes. They build our bodies, protect our health, shape our identities, and grant us incredible abilities. Science writer Ed Yong will take us on an eye-opening and critical look at the science of the microbiome, and what it means for our lives.

Ed Yong is an award-winning science writer who reports for The Atlantic and blogs at National Geographic.

Copies of Ed Yong’s new book, I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life, will be on sale at this event.
