Ed Yong is a rock star of knowledge.

One of the best presentations I've seen anywhere -- even from the RI. Simply wonderful in its lucidity, importance of subject matter, and timeliness. Six stars out of five!

Revolutionary and much needed! I will share this one with others.

mind blown! microphone dropped! life altered. I loved this talk. I'm like a new born adult that just wants to learn more, much more, much much more. thank you so much for this video. WOW!

That's science for you :) Most welcome!! I am a marine biologist, but microbiology has always fascinated me and the fact that they are so understudied and underrepresented.

Magdalena Moss, im going to put his book on my must have list. This is all new territory for me. I was blown away.

I've long been a fan of Ed Yong's science writing. It's my first time hearing him speak and it's wonderful to see his talent for making scientific knowledge accessible without flattening it the complexity that it describes. thank u

This is the future people, pay close attention...

Just ordered his book, looking forward to read it.

Mr. Yong, you are an excellent lecturer. I am fascinated by this topic and you present it in an enjoyable and informative manner. Your analogies are delightful and enlightening.

I read his books, follow his "The Atlantic" articles and am so glad I found this lecture on a book I read many years ago. Anything produced by Mr. Yong I want to know about. Good stuff!

that was impressive. Mr Yong did not use any notes and gave such a succinct and clear talk.

Wow, this is a stunning presentation. My eyes have been opened! Thank you Ed Yong, and thank you Royal Institute.

Excellent and fascinating. A thousand thanks.

Dude I didn’t even graduate high school and im enjoying this

Thank you! Great talk. Fantastic delivery. So interesting.

Thank you for sharing this brilliant presentation

Love this informative stuff, day by day I'm learning/ being aware the importance of my microbiome and what they do for me and the benefits of the all.

Fantastic speaker ! Love listening to him exlaining things

Thank you for a wonderful and inspiring presentation. I want to know more !

Just wonderful knowledge

Excellent lecture.

Great talk, thanks a lot. Eloquently put and packed full of information. Having looked after patients with Crohn's and UC, I was not at all surprised to hear that bacteria could be part of the problem as well as the solution.

Great talk.

Amazing!

Why would anyone give this a thumbs down?

i love this

That was a very interesting and clear exposition. Many thanks! I can now go back to my patients with renewed vigour and enthusiasm for encouraging them to eat more than their "five a day".

you help me to understand more of Buddhism Thanks

@25:30 a great example of describing correlation but not stating a causation

if we eat enough bed bugs can we use their walbacheia bacteria to make b-12 in our upper gastrointestinal population?

His shirt looks like TV static when he is moving and you watch the video via the thumbnail in the taskbar.

Has testing been done to determine whether these multitude of microbes are alive within pre-born humans (zygote, embryo, fetus) so as to rule out the proposition that their occurrence within infants comes only after birth (due to environment versus evolution)? 12:33

Informative talk. Look forward to reading the book!

30:01 hehehe good one.

Reading the book. Can't put it down...Microbiology should be the sexiest subjects one must aspire to learn. No matter what profession one practices. Know yourself. Microbiologically.

Why is isn't there more information about this?

He has a book called “I Contain Multitudes” that goes very in depth with the subject

reminds me of a milton jones joke, my girlfriend offered me champagne, turned out to be real pain.

i guess this is why children should not use hand sanitizers....

Awesome...I will go into poo pill business now...lol

ma-mazed!

Why doesn’t he mention that if you don’t eat meat you won’t make TMAO.??

Pupa Pan.

I appreciate he didn't include history in his lecture and talked straight.

Dumbo be like

i like very much the work of Ed Young . BUT ; didn't you, Mr. Yong, explain to us that Wolbacia lived in 40% of the insects around the world and that it took nearly 30 years to get Wolbacia to live inside this specific mosquito ? ( Yes ) You then follow this with news (to us) of conducting massive experiments in densely populated cities across the globe ,with this Wolbasquito ,then proceed to assure everyone that wolbacia doesn't live or "infect" human-beings and that it only lives in this specific mosquito. I take issue with that . That is all:

Amazing!
